XnView Software

Thanks from my side as well :)

I don't get that many material from others but I made the same experience and I have set the corresponding option as well to keep my category tree clean. But there is a side effect to it:

If somebody needs to create picture with embedded category information, you ...

Good morning,

in the meantime I have checked the category information in more detail and it looks like evernything is back to normal again.
May be I corrected one user failure with another one but the measures taken seem to have solved the problem.

I hope the configuration will now stay like it is ...

Good morning and thanks a lot for the quick response.

To answer your questions first:
