Question

Keywords are being added to all images in a collection.

When adding a keyword to a single selected image in grid view the keyword is being added to all images in the collection.

 

Is there a settting somewhere that controls this?  If there is, I can't seem to find it.

Something weird is going on with keywords.

If I look into the image file the keywords are correct in the dc:subject and lr:hierarchicalSubject tags.

For that image, if I select Metadata->Read Metadata from File the keywords are not updated.

I can think of a possibility: You have accidentally selected all photos in the collections before adding the keyword, and this is causing the problem.

 

Other than that, I don't see how it can happen that all photos in the collection get the keyword.

I explicitly did a Ctrl-D to unselect all images before selecting the single image 😞

Okay, smart move! Exactly what steps did you follow to assign the keyword after that?
