Uncatgorized Section showing things that are Categorized
I accidentally deleted one of my categories. I fixed this by select all of the images and doing View -> Update catalog from files. That brought back the category that I had accidentally deleted. But now all the images that were affected by the deleted category now shows up in the Categorized section even though they're already tagged! Is this a bug or is there something that I need to do?
Re: Uncatgorized Section showing things that are Categorized
I just realized that everything in my catalog has double of every image! The actual files are not duplicated on my harddrive. But within xnviewmp, it shows double. Please help!
Re: Uncatgorized Section showing things that are Categorized
do you use only catalog, or xmp too for categories?

Re: Uncatgorized Section showing things that are Categorized
I only use catalog. No XMP. Is this recommended btw?
Re: Uncatgorized Section showing things that are Categorized
is it possible to have your catalog file?
Pierre.
Re: Uncatgorized Section showing things that are Categorized
Is XnView.db the catalog file? If so, I've PM'ed you a link to my catalog file.
Also I recently got a new laptop and I used XnViewMP to access the library over the network. I added the folder with all the images and let it rebuild catalog from scratch on the laptop. Everything was good except there were about 33000 images that's showing up under "Uncatagorized" But when I select those images and hit control + i for Edit IPTIC-IIM/SMP and Keywords Tab, it shows the category in there. Any ideas?

yes, which file do you have twice?
and if you put one file with keywords and not categorized in an empty folder, and browse it, categories are good?Also I recently got a new laptop and I used XnViewMP to access the library over the network.

Re: Uncatgorized Section showing things that are Categorized
I don't have any file twice. In the catalog directory there are 3 of these .ini files though: iptc.ini, iptc.ini.I19408, iptc.ini.Z19732
Ya if the empty folder is not excluded by me, it'll extract the keywords and add them as catagories. Did you have a chance to take a look at my catalog file?

i means which is twice in one category?
and only once in the categories?Ya if the empty folder is not excluded by me, it'll extract the keywords and add them as catagories. Did you have a chance to take a look at my catalog file?

Re: Uncatgorized Section showing things that are Categorized
I don't know what you mean by twice in one category. I have images that have keywords attached to them. But when i build my catelog from scratch, a lot of them show up in "Uncategorized" under special items instead.
Re: Uncatgorized Section showing things that are Categorized
could you tell me whcih file is affected by the problem?
Pierre.
Re: Uncatgorized Section showing things that are Categorized
this file is not in 'Avengers: Infinity War (2018)' category?
If i try 'uncategorized', i have only 7 files

Re: Uncatgorized Section showing things that are Categorized
It is in the category on my main computer. But on my new computer. where I built a new catalog from scratch. It failed to extract keywords from many of the images.
Re: Uncatgorized Section showing things that are Categorized
and same settings? The .db that you have sent to me is from main computer?
