How to lose your categories

Hi:

Just wanted to say that I'Ve seen this happen also. Mainly while renaming and moving around Categories inside the Cat. panel.
I think it might be a refresh problem, because sometimes you have to restart Mp to make the Double Categories disappear or to take on new names you just entered.

My post here (2nd down) doesn't explain how, but does confirms it. http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?f=82&t=33560

Here's The quote:

Mp does have its sync problems though, Mainly while changing category names or having doubles. As I am finding out now for myself. This is a Big problem for me.

Just Removing and adding categories from pictures seems to be working for me for the most part by using the category panel ticks. I have seen a few post about problems with the db not updating always as one would expect. So you may want to search the forum on the topic.
Before I mainly used it for a viewer and new options added made me want to try it to catalog also, But so far is not agreeing with me...

I also think when you change the name of a category to one that is already their, they should be able to merge togehther.
