Title:
Stick icon selection even after editing keywords

Area:
Tags

Summary:
Make icon choices stick with posts unless the icon is fully deleted. Changing details on the icon shouldn't revert the post's icon choice to the default icon.

Description:
I recently uploaded an icon, made a post, and in the midst of posting realized I hadn't described the icon correctly with my keywording. After posting I changed the icon keywords and then refreshed my journal. The new post's icon had reverted to my default, so I then had to edit the post and change back to the re-keworded icon.

I'd hate to think that future editing of keywords on my icons will make every past post show my default icon. Can we make icon choices stick with the posts regardless of the information on the icon, or are keywords permanent the minute we write them? Should I be using icon descriptions rather than keywords? I had the impression that this kind of move has worked in the past, using LJ.
