If not, see if ThumbsPlus has the ability to take the keywords from its internal database and write them to the images (or sidecars). If your existing keywords are already embedded in the images then idImager should be able to pick them up. I already noticed that idImager included (appropriately) some warnings to that effect. Writing embedded meta data to proprietary RAW files can be a bit hairy and render the file unreadable by another application. Most systems allow (at least as an option) both of those although some require sidecars versus embedded, at least for RAW files. That way, the data is always with the image. But I need it in the image too (for portability). You typically want the data in the catalog for searching speed. Metadata is typically stored in one (or more) of three places: It's been a long while since I looked (briefly) at ThumbsPlus and I honestly don't recall enough specifics of that program so I'll talk in general terms: When you say "Get those keywords written into the image files! Your images are going to outlive any one cataloging system" that's and excellent point, but not sure how to do that.
