P: Move keyword position with blocks instead copy paste with commas

[mastix]

I submit images and videos to Adobe Stock and the keyword ranking there is important. The most significant keywords that apply to the image have to go first. With Lightroom you can copy the keyword and the paste at the beginning. This is a very slow process. You have the commas in the way, the panel is small, etc.

There is a software (Stock submitter) specialized for sending content to many agencies and it has solved this with a clever trick. Every keyword or multiple keywords if they are separated with commas are transformed into blocks. You can quickly drag any block into the position you want. No need to care about commas, pasting in the wrong spot etc. It is 100x times faster as it is implemented in Lightroom now. hope to see it one day in LR

Can you post a screenshot showing these blocks in Stock Submitter in action? That would clarify what you mean.

You can quickly grab any keyword/block and place it in any position you want. Very fast. As I said not messing with commas, etc. When you get out of this view the keywords are arranged in the order you placed them and then you can see them again separated by commas. To rearrange this is a much faster approach. other programs are using it to like the Shutterstock keyworder. So easy and fast.

If you're relying on LR to order your keywords for submission to Adobe Stock, beware that you can't reorder the keywords once entered into the Keywording panel -- to change the order, you have to delete all the keywords, hit enter, click back in the panel, and then enter the keywords in the exact order you want.  See here for other strangenesses as well:

Yes, I know. This is because I don't use LR to order my keywords. A really archaic system to do that. Hope somewhere in the future they can implement a better way like the one suggested here.
