XnView Software

It's about all "Keep"-checkboxes.

They are selected, although the format doesn't support it.

They are grayed (and selected), although ...

When saving it says: "April's fool, I can't do something of that ...".

Just do it logical. Offer (per every format) the abilities that the format supports.

So it's nice we both agree.

However - it doesn't work.

I actually am using "category sets" ... see my example above.
And it does not work.

So you say:

"It's not a bug - it's a feature".

Actually it's very uncomfortable as the former used filter is gone

So it would be very helpful if XnViewMP would support in identifying those patterns so one has the chance to find a "...

Are saying that everything is OK then?

I think it's a pretty good idea to support the user at the task of assigning categories. For this I do suggest to add another "System-Managed" category set: "Related" Showing all categories that items that are assigned with the actual selection are additionally assigned to. Example: You assign a cat...

I think it's a pretty good idea to support the user at the task of assigning categories to items. For that I tried the "system-managed" category set "Suggested", as described in https://www.xnview.com/wiki/index.php/Cataloging_Features_in_XnView_MP#Categories_.28Keywords.29_Cataloging However, it do...
