hi there

it would be great if there is possible to change that field in a future release into text cause then all keywords could be written into the database.

generally full support of iptc would be great.

there's already a discussion about this and iptc etc. in the g2 development forums.

- g2 supports iptc. but iptc fields are not yet searchable
- we described the necessary steps to programmatically add iptc-search support in g2, but there aren't any takers for this task yet
- the keywords architecture of g2 is very limited (255 chars) and a redesign is necessary anyway (separate rows for each keyword).

moving the topic.
