How to lose your categories

I have the same problem as described in the top posting. I havn't gone any further as I'm afraid to finally destroy some of the real meta data.

But I have also noticed the following:
If you find a picture in the browser that should have a keword assigned that you now miss in the list, the category actually is missing in the "categories groups" (Kategoriegruppen; German version used) pane too. But if you select the picture to be active in the "Info" pane and you choose tab "IPTC-IIM" here, you will find the keyword ist still contained in the meta data of the file. I also can search for the keyword in the top right command field and the pictures will be found.

IMO this would confirm the theory of sync problems.

I also tried to refresh the complete catalog via deleting and adding a new folder in the program settings. No change. The categories are still gone!

So it would help as a workaround to know how to read a completely new catalog from the directories (or refresh the existing one).
