XnView Software

I can confirm this.
The stability of the recent version(s) is terrible and it seems to have something to do with video thumbnails.
I see a lot of annoying freezes on different occasions mostly when selecting one or more video thumbnails.
I have tried to reproduce with debug on but then it does not ...

This bug has not been mentioned in the changelog of latest versions. But with version 1.6.1 it seems the bug not there anymore.

I can confirm this issue with version 1.5.5. Pictures and Avi do work. All other video files cause XnvieMP to crash.

but I don't know if there exists a label "trumpet" and/ or
I don't know if I labelled the (all ...

Have you tried Settings->Thumbnail->Create thumbnails for whole folder ?

The Category Sets panel should display what you are looking for.

I don't make use of IPTC so I can only guess. Under Settings->Metadata there is a settings checkbox: 'Export Catalog's Category to XMP Subject and IPTC' Keyword.

You should be able to do this with 'Category Sets'.
To view Category Sets go to View->Panels and enable 'Category Sets'.
If you select multiple files and check the Category Sets panel then you will see that the categories that are assigned to all selected files are bold and if you select it, it will ...
