Category "Other" Unable to delete?
I recently had to rebuild my Categories using all the images that were tagged with the metadata using the "Import XMP subject or IPTC keywords to DB Categories" function.
I noticed that all the default categories I was able to delete except for one: "Other". Never had this issue before.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Re: Category "Other" Unable to delete?
Yes.
Later, I created new categories , then I could delete this one.
I dont know if anything else permits to delete it
I think it's not possible to have no categories at all.

I can delete categories I created myself. I can't delete the "Other" Category that comes by Default.xnview wrote:You can't delete some created categories? could you send me your .db?rinthe wrote:I created many new categories. I'm still unable to delete it.
Re: Category "Other" Unable to delete?
Yes this is still happening!
Also there is a side-effect: when you want to delete multiple categories with shift+select, it doesn't work if you select a group of categories with the Other category in it.

Re: Category "Other" Unable to delete?
1.5.5 also. Delete option is greyed out on that, and only that, category.
Re: Category "Other" Unable to delete?
Do you have a lot of categories used ?
The only method I've found when this happens is:
Create a category. Move "Other" into this category, and then delete the parent category ...
Or wait for an unpredictable time, and then it will work.
