Hello!
I've assigned categories with XnViewMP 0.84 (Win XP). First without selecting "Create IPTC metadata" in Settings / Metadata. Later with this option.
Can I subsequently write all XnView categories into the IPTC metadata so that they are also available in other programs?
If there is no function for it: Can I make this by removing from category and then reassigning the category?
The XnView-category is written as a keyword in the IPTC metadata. However, if I remove from category in XnView, the IPTC keyword will not be deleted. How can I still achieve this?
Which images are included in the "Category Filter" ad? All of the entire hard drive? What happens if I rename or move a categorized image? Because: The "Category Filter" display sometimes lacks images or appears as a thumbnail. (Maybe they have been renamed or moved to another location.) How can they be redisplayed in the category filter in XnView? When I choose F5 "Refresh view", the images often appear twice: once as a normal miniature, once as a thumbnail.

Re: categories and IPTC: create, delete, search
Thanks for the answers. Unfortunately I dont understand all.
Let me ask differently: How do I display images of a specific category from a single folder (and its subfolders)?
Thanks for help!

It doesnt work in my setting. I have tagged a picture with a category (in Tools>Settings>Metadata was XMP/IPTC deselected). There is no IPTC-entry: Correct. Then I selected the XMP/IPTC (4 Boxes) and displayed all pictures of the category and performed View> update files from catalog. The categories were not written in the IPTC keywords. Now I displayed the folder in which the image is included and did again View> update files from catalog performed. The categories have not been included in the IPTC keywords right now.
Further tests have shown: it works (mostly). Files of the last test kept the entries in the IPTC, even though the categories in XnView have deselected. Why ever.it should be, could you send me a sample file?The XnView-category is written as a keyword in the IPTC metadata.

But XnView delivers the same amount of images, if I select only one folder with 2 photos or the root directory of the hard drive with thousands od photos.The image from folder s that you browseWhich images are included in the "Category Filter" ad? All of the entire hard drive?

Updating the catalog does not produce the desired result. (see hardcopy: There are some pictures thumbnails (an not able to open) and some double listed. How does this happen?) And how its possible to refresh the list?If you rename/move it in XnView, the catalog is updatedWhat happens if I rename or move a categorized image?

Re: categories and IPTC: create, delete, search
Sorry there was a mistake in "subscribe/unsubscribe", so I got no message abaut your answer.
Thanks for help.
See below.could you post a screenshot of settings>Metadata?
I opened the folder at the right tab. Then I go to the other tab "categories" an choose a category: ALL pictures of this category were displayed, not only these from the folder.Go to this folder, and select the category
No. I use the Explorer or othe tools to rename. I'm looking for a refreshing-tool that updates the new folder-contents and image-tags in XnView.do you have renamed/moved files in XnView?
Thanks for help.

Hello MichaelP
If you want to repair the catalog with renamed photos or photos containing keywords, you can also 1)select thumbnails 2)View, update catalog from files
Sometimes, you must delete the line containing a folder in "tools, settings, catalog" and browse again this folder, to update catalog.
Select a category in "categories filter" pane, then select all the pictures found, remove category, wait a short while, and reassign it.
When selected pictures are released, xnviewmp will update keywords.

Yes, it's a way to update keywords in pictures.Can I make this by removing from category and then reassigning the category?
