    Hierarchical keyword selection not showing

    hrh gracie Community Member
      In LR 2.1 I have some hierarchical keywords. For example:

      location
      arizona
      grand canyon

      In Bridge, if I assign "grand canyon" I can set a preference to tell it to automatically select the parents... SO, in my list of keywords for the image I have "grand canyon, arizona, location".

      In LR, when I do this it doesn't appear to do the same thing... If I assign "grand canyon", arizona doesn't get a check, it gets a dash, as does location. And in the list of keywords for my image, only "grand canyon" shows up... Is there a preference somewhere (as in Bridge) for me to have the parents selected and show up as selected?

      Part 2: SOME hierarchical keywords show up as a hierarchy in the keyword list for the image - something like "grand canyon > arizona, location". Why do SOME entries in the hierarchy show up with the ">" and others in the same hierarchy don't? Shouldn't it be "grand canyon > arizona > location" or at worst "grand canyon > arizona", arizona > location" or some such?
