0.96.2, 64 bit, Starting the app categories filter pane is empty

Sure! I can't post my actual Windows 7 laptop files since I have paranoia about Slovak government surveillance and EU privacy invasion.

So instead, here are Windows 10 Windows Sandbox Virtual Machine files (Screenshot of entire VM & app and xnview.ini file) and everything needed is shown and it happens even in fresh OS installations and freshly installed XnView MP which didn't honestly surprised me.

It's a PortableApps.com installation of XnView MP and the program version is 1.8.8 but it's 99% likely that the bug happens even in version 1.9.2.

I hope that you wont mind if I use external host. Link to all files needed:

there is no reason to use PortableApps.com
XnView MP is already available in zip archive and has setting to work from app folder

I just came to report the same bug.
XnViewMP 1.9.2 x64, Windows 10 x64
Whenever I open the application, the Catalog Filter panel is empty. To refresh it I need to close and open it again.
The bug doesn't reproduce on clean installation.
Attached ini file.

Reason I use PortableApps.com is only because I don't want to manually update individual portable programs and I want to have them in one place. Updating portable programs manually (i.e. without the PortableApps.com platform) while ensuring to retain data and settings is little bit annoying.
