Hirarchical keyword diappearing from KW-List

Wilhelm Wiechern

I am using an external drive for a larger project, so I would be able to work on that project either on Workstation or on my laptop.

Catalog and foto files all remain on that drive.

After several hours of work on my laptop on that project I connected the external drive to the workstation to see whether everything works as expected. Regrettably I did not.

I found parts of my keywords library disappeared when I opened the resp. catalog on my workstation.

After swapping back to my laptop those keywords - plain ones as well as hirarchical sets - still remain disappeared.

Is there any way or method to get back to my original keyword libray?

Is the keyword information layed down somewhere whithin the adjustment files of the resp. fotos? Can they be extracted from some those files?

    Examine subfolders in your appdata folder. If you don't know how, consult https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/appdata-where-to-find-the-appdata-folder-in-windows-10/

    Looking up <C:\Users\Wihelm Wiechern\AppData\Local\CaptureOne\KeywordLibraries>

    I found one db file, obviously the import file of a LR-Keyword-libray

    But where to look for my active C1 keyword library or somehow lost keywords respectively

    within that bunch of subfolders?

    Meanwhile I "repaired" my still existing keyword lib by re-adding the disapeared items.

    However there's no glimps of an idea what might have caused the loss of the keyword firsthand. Right before the loss (did not realize it imediately) I had done some cleaning, i.e. deleted some dubbled keywords in the lib. However definitely not those which had disappeared.

    I observed that, while I select one special keyword within the library, not only the selection gets highlighted (i.e. marked by a lighted frame) but also others get highlighted which I definitely did not select. Could this behaviour cause those other items to disappear when I try to delete the selected item?
