I imported a keywords hierarchy into the Thesaurus and that was OK and shows them all correctly and they can be assinged to images successfully.
I then tried to remove the [WHO]>Person group and keyword (that are set up when IMatch was installed) from the Thesaurus. However this did not work
I tried:
- deleting the group entry [WHO] using the Thesaurus manager
- deleting directly from the Thesearus keywords panel entry (selected [WHO]>right click>Delete)
- as both above but first deleting the Person keyword then deleting the [WHO] group
In all instances [WHO] and Person are removed from the Theseaurus according to the Thesaurus Manager and the keyword panel. Then I close IMatch and restart it they come back.
I have no images that use the [WHO]>Person keyword.
Hah! This was a puzzler indeed.
By default, Face annotations are mapped to keywords, and to the path [WHO]Persons. See Edit > Preferences > Metadata 2.
If this node does not exist in the thesaurus, it is automatically created when the thesaurus is loaded. Which explains why [WHO] reappears.
If you don't want this, change the mapping for the person keywords.
This only happens when the mapping keyword path is the default, not when this is a user-defined path.
That fixed it. Thanks.
