The keywords will be visible in the Aperture UI and present when images are exported. I believe that this script does what you want. I generally don't recommend running the script until you have all of your keywords applied and are happy with your keyword hierarchy.

It'll be painful, I know, but these Smart Albums are really really neat!! I like the virtual keywords when searching, but it's confusing to only see the lowest-level keyword in the metadata inspector. VERY CONFUSING. I'm thinking your script here is the answer I've been searching for. THANKS!! Just a couple of questions: Does your script only help things out during export, or will it add the hierarchy of keywords within Aperture itself (so I see all keywords in the metadata inspector)? Or would this be even more confusing? Thanks for the script and for pointing me in the right direction!! -Philip Brett,

One of the great things about AppleScript is that it is pretty easy to dissect others' scripts to build your own. I’m glad you found it helpful.

I wanted to achieve the reverse as I have imported all my photos from the Linux app Digikam which, like Aperture, has hierarchical keywords (called tags) that it exports in the ITPC keywords field as a path - e.g. People/Friends/David - which I wanted to convert into Aperture hierarchical keywords. Your script gave me the necessary information about handling Aperture keywords to enable me to write my own script. Thanks again. Regards, Mark Brett,
