Suggested Category Set always empty

Post by bwmarrin »

I'm using XnView to cull/tag images and I love it :) I'm using version 1.0.

On the Category Sets tab the Suggested section is always empty. It sounds like a cool feature that I assume would work similar to the same feature in Lightroom that I've used in the past.

Is there a setting or something I need to do so that the Suggested set gets populated with items?

Yes, I have "Automatically apply parent category" selected. It's super handy having that since it reduces the number of categories I have to add to everything :)
