Update and keep categories?

Post by Nimrodel »

Hello,
I used xnview MP version 0.88. I downloaded it as " Zip Win 64bit". Now I wanted to update to the new version 0.89, so I downloaded it again; but now I have two Xnview MP on my computer, one with the old version and all my categories, and one with the new version but "blank", with the standard-categories. What did I do wrong?

you use folder of XnView, so xnview.ini and all .db files are in this folder, you need to copy them in 0.89 folder
