If I use PM Plus it works perfectly fine to add metadata in PM - open the RAW in Photolab - Edit the image - and just export for eample a JPEG. This would then follow the logical rule of only one software deals with keywording. For the user all keywording would be done in their DAM either before or after being in PL5. That is provide a setting that if enabled would prevent PL5 from touching any keywords. Until DXO can sort out their import/export interface issues there is what would seem to be a very simple solution and one that has been requested. As an old history teacher too I think it´s great fun and very intresting. When I now are tagging my old images from Petra Jordan - the lost city - that i took 1973, two months before the Jom Kippur War, I now mostly can find the right namnes of all the tombs and all other remnants that was created more than 2000 years ago down there in Wadi Musa (or the Valley of Moses as it is called in english). When adding descriptions to these images today I have a fantastic support from the Internet and Google where I can refresh both my own memories and even deepen my own knowledge a lot when I write my reports and stories. Sure, but the work I put in now in this is also very much motivated by refreshing my own memories and preparing them as a support for my own memory when getting older and for my younger relatives if they will be intrested in a future. We don’t have to run a mini on our personal archives, we just need to be able to find the photos we want when we want. We can all get 90% of the distance just by keeping photos organised by date in OS folders, using intelligent folder titles and dropping some basic keywords on our albums as we go.
