re Numerical Catagory Codes in XnViewMP:

Can you please direct me to some information about the three-digit Numerical Catagory Codes:

I'll see how I go and maybe I'll have to come back to the forum in due course

Thanks again, AlanTC.

Pardon my flawed information re my two issues.

First issue: using software (name escapes me) that is no longer supported by Microsoft, I have catalogued my 10k+ jpg files by applying 'tags' of functions/evets etc eg tags of 'meetings', 'holidays', 'family' and the like. In XnView MP, those tags ...
