Yes, the IPTC dialog is not usefull if you use XMP in XnViewMP because categories are written in keywords of IPTC, and subject of XMP. But some users need always to edit IPTC data only where we have keywords AND categories.

That will ensure compatibility with tools that support either format (e.g. the most popular image viewer on Windows, Irfan, only supports IPTC, while gThumb, F-Stop, Google's Snapseed and many others use XMP). It will also avoid the perplexing situation I'm illustrating in the screencast below (click it to see the animation).
