Import does not recognize Lightroom keyword hierarchy?
When I import and image, or group of images, from a Lightroom library with Lightroom's hierarchal keywords applied, I get all the imported images keywords as additional keywords in my CO9 catalog keyboard library. But they are not hierarchal - just flat.
Is that expected?
If there is any existing keyword in CO9's Keyword Library that matches a Lightroom keyword, it is not used - a new keyword is created at the top level of CO9's Keyword Library, instead.
It sure would be nice if CO9 knew it already had a keyword and used its rather than duplicating the keyword at the top level.
Is this just me, or are others confused about keywords when an image with keywords already applied is imported?
This is making a king-sized mess out of my CO9 Keyword Library that has to be laboriously cleaned up after every import from Lightroom! ☹️

Day 3 of the trial of Capture One Pro v9.x for Mac
I have the same issue - keywords all present, but hierarchy gone.
Do I really have to go thru 30,000 - 35,000 images and re-do the keyword hierarchy and re-apply keywords?
The first time I tried to fix one, Capture One crashed and corrupted the image DB. I had to re-import the LR Catalog - another 6 hour process...
That's a bit of a non-starter... I wouldn't want to lose my catalog to a crash.
Disappointing...

Did it really crash or did it not respond and you then force quit or rebooted the computer? I've only seen it non-responsive for 5-10 minutes depending on the catalog size. If you wait long enough it will eventually finish the job and to be save, make regular backups so you don't have to wait another 6 hours.
Managing keywords in the library (e.g. changing hierarchy or deleting) in a catalog of that size is an issue at the moment and basically not usable in a normal way. I've made a bug report for it before Christmas. I really hope to see a fix for this in the next update. Certainly this does not give a good impression right now to anyone testing it.0
