I'm a new user exploring the cataloguing capabilities of xnviewmp.
I've just clicked on category "friends" for a given image and
checked that I can filter using this category.
Nevertheless, I visualize the XMP window and do not see the category anywhere.
Where is this information being actually written? It is important in terms of
compatibility
Also, I've seen there is an option "update or create XMP sidecar" in Settings/Metadata
If this option is selected, would the "category" information be saved to the sidecar file only
or would it be written to the jpg or or tif file as well? I would prefer saving the information
into both files (unless you think this could cause problems).
Thanks
Agus
Where are "categories" written?

Depeding on settings>Metadata. By default categories are written in the catalog of XnView, but you can write them in the file itself or sidecaralobo wrote:I'm a new user exploring the cataloguing capabilities of xnviewmp.

Re: Where are "categories" written?
I might have a misunderstanding here:
Do I have to select and then "add"? In that case, how do I "add" the comment?
(there is no user manual or tutorial, is it?)
Regarding the db
Thanks
I thought that just by selecting a given "Category", i.e., "Friends", the comment was automatically added.And when you add a category on jpeg file, no XMP categories??
Do I have to select and then "add"? In that case, how do I "add" the comment?
(there is no user manual or tutorial, is it?)
Regarding the db
what kind of db is it? does it use open source software (i.e., mysql or PostgreSQL) ?In Settings>Integration>Paths, you have 'open catalog location'
Thanks
