Documenation on how to use TAG & Categories
I am looking for documentation or forum topic which will help me understand how to use tags & categories. I played a bit with itbut I am a bit confused:
1) When I select a category where images where added previously how do I go back to show all images(one click), not only the one belonging to the category, I checked the filter but didn't find a way to do a display all and I had to select another folder and go back to the initial folder or use the back arrow icon?
2) When I tag a few images, display the tagged images and then select another folder then all images are automatically untagged, is it normal behavior (not persistent )?
3) When I add a image to a rating category, the image rating at the top of the thumbnail is not updated automatically ?
4) What is the use of the click box on the left side of the category and why it is used on the rating & colour label ?, when I click a specific category it displays the images which belong to this category but when I unclick it I would expect the image to disapear and that doesn't seem to be the case
5) When using rating, how to I show all images rated or unrated , or images belonging to 2 or more rates?
6)Is tagging related to a specific folder or work cross folder.
Otherwise I have been using XNView for more a year and this is a great tool .
Thank You,
Jean

There CONTROL to select category + children, but is broken in this versionxnview wrote:Yes, i must add an option to show all children categoriesAnonymous wrote:I am also confused, if I have a category and a subcategory, then I would expect the category to automatically show everything in its subcategory
but it seems I have to click each one individually.

categories
Hi!
I'm also confused about this topic, why nobody answers?
One more question: how to add similar category to several files/folders (all sub folders files)?
If there is no way to do this, how to use categories? Check every file individually? It's not possible.

Re: categories
Select your files, and drag&drop them to the categorydi2ger wrote: One more question: how to add similar category to several files/folders (all sub folders files)?

Sub Category
How does one create a sub category? Cannot create a (indented) child category underneath the parent.

Category Children
Thanks, I got that. But how do you move children around (assign them to a new parent category) after you have a structure already in place.
rating
Yeah!!! It works! Thank you, Pierre! But this wasn't obvious!
Why tabs on preview pane disappears, when I select more, than one file? I could use it to set categories.
And I'm interested in 5th original question:
One more question: how to add categories fast in full screen mode? Is there any shortcuts (hotkeys)? - It would be useful.
And thank you one more time for the best freeware image viewer ever!

And I'm interested in 5th original question:
And what, if I want to see the best shots from specific folder? So, how can I use the rating? Why not to add search ability using rating and categories? And increase search speed by indexing image database...5) When using rating, how to I show all images rated or unrated , or images belonging to 2 or more rates?
