Hi Pierre. First off all sorry for my very late reply. I have been sick and completely offline for almost 2 weeks.
I decided now to stick to the good old classic “XnView Full-Version” which I’m using for many years now and just hope that you might fix the category bugs in a near feature.
Let me resume the problem for you. Categories are lost…
after deleting a file or folder and/or
after moving a file or folder and/or
after renaming a file or folder.
But not only the categories are lost afterwards. There then also appear these strange “Textfiles” in the category view. One can only get rid of them by right-click + remove from this category.
Regarding your new XnViewMP application, I tried it out in the meantime. I also read many posts in your forum regarding XnViewMP. I personally find XnViewMP very confusing compared to the classic XnView and therefore too difficult to use. The import of the “category.db” worked, yes, but resulted in a huge mess of categories. Also the default categories remained after this procedure. Very confusing I think. I believe that the current XnViewMP is still something like a Beta-Version.
What I do not understand is why you invest time and effort developing this XnViewMP. We already have 3 different versions of XnView (Minimal, Standard and Full). For what now this XnViewMP project? Why not just maintain, improve, bugfix and maybe extend these 3 already existing very good classic XnView versions?
Because your classic “XnView Full-Version” is such a great program and even freeware for private users. I wouldn’t know how to administer my huge photo collection without it. A BIG THANK YOU for this!!
