Hi,

I've used Photo Station for years on my Synology, but had to upgrade from DSM 6.2 to 7.2, knowing that would break Photo Station. Synology Photo's is not what I want, as I expected. I'm pretty certain Piwigo ticks off all boxes, for which I'm very grateful. I run it through Linuxserver's Docker image.

As a Photo Station user, I added through the years many tags (IPTC and faces). Now, I can find this data easily if I check it through Windows Explorer, as seen here.

I'm currently focusing on iptc_keywords (and leave the photo's as is for now).

What did I already do?
- I've read these thoroughly:
https://piwigo.org/doc/doku.php?id=user … amp;s=iptc
https://fr.piwigo.org/doc/doku.php?id=u … meta&s[]=iptc
https://piwigo.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=28203
https://piwigo.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=28615

- Changed these within config.inc.php
$conf['show_iptc'] = true;

$conf['show_iptc_mapping'] = array(
  'keywords'             => '2#025',
  'author'               => '2#122',
  'byline_title'         => '2#085',
  'name'                 => '2#105',
  'comment'              => '2#120'
  );

$conf['use_iptc'] = true;

$conf['use_iptc_mapping'] = array(
  'iptc_keywords'        => '2#025',
  'iptc_caption_writer'  => '2#122',
  'iptc_byline_title'    => '2#085',
  'iptc_name'            => '2#105',
  'iptc_caption'         => '2#120'
  );

- Changed these in common.lang.php
$lang['IPTC Metadata'] = 'IPTC Metadata';
$lang['keywords'] = 'Keywords';
$lang['caption_writer'] = 'Description Author';
$lang['byline_title'] = 'Title of Creator';
$lang['name'] = 'Title';
$lang['caption'] = 'Description';
$lang['Keyword'] = "Keyword";

- Mapped the additional fields in my mariadb within the piwigo_images table

What I didn't do:
- Make changes to functions_metadata.php as indicated in above mentioned forum post, as those were for adding iptc_author as iptc_keywords. I never used iptc_author, hence it's outside my scope. I'm not familiar with PHP, thus I'm not certain what I should change in that file for my use case.
I do know how to find that file in my container, that's not an issue.

What I can't seem to do and would like to have some support or pointers on:
- Convert my iptc_keywords to Piwigo keywords so that I can use those to search on and make smart albums with (through the SmartAlbums plugin). Thus:
iptc_keywords = Keywords

Thanks in advance!
