XnView Software

I'm not on my PC... Binoculars icon, maybe Ctrl F, or File>Search menu
Ah. I've found that some time earlier, and later completely forgotten it.
Either way, that should be referred to as a dialog, rather than a window.

Annoying how it only has the option of including all conditions, or any of all ...

What search window?

I am well aware of that, but that cannot be referred to as a "search", by any stretch of the imagination.

Yeah, it would be quite great, as long as you don't have that many categories per file.

What does that mean, and how is it done?

- The "Categories" sideview can become unwieldy if you have many (say 100s of) categories. In contrast, the column would show only the 1 or 2 (or few) that have been applied
There is the Category Sets panel, that shows the categories that have been assigned to the file.

…and I would like to point ...

do you have a way to reproduce this bug?
Well yeah.
Pretty much what I described in my initial post.
Browse a folder, and then download a file into that folder, and see if categories jump, and/or select a new file and a previous file, and click on a few categories, in the Categories set panel, and ...

All information I'm able to find, concerning a PP-format, is a file format for meteorological data, made by the Met Office. (the UK national weather service)

The only place I can get anywhere close to creating a category is when I somehow manage to get the Category Filter tab to show.
Huh?
You should have gotten just as close to creating a category, in the other places…
Here is a picture with screenshots of both the category and category set panes ...

XnViews use of the word tag, is very, and completely needlessly, confusing and misleading. (it should really use a different word… you "tag" some images, and then you can get a view of just those files. A useful feature …but a very wrong name for it)

…and categories are what everyone else calls ...

When holding the mouse pointer over a category, I can see the path of the category, in the category tree
…except if I include a description, for the category. (a feature I've recently started to take advantage of)
This seems strange and unnecessary. I want to always be able to see the path.
I ...

XnView: MP 0.99.7 - 64 bit
OS: Windows 7 64bit

When I'm in a folder, and I download a new file there, sometimes the categories for the previous file there (in the cases where this has happened, I have sorting by date, with newest first, so the newest file, before the one I just downloaded), are ...

…and the * indicates that the keyboard shortcut for 100% zoom is *.
Much like the Ctrl+/, =, and -, that are shown on "Real size", Zoom in, and Zoom out, respectively, in your screenshot, due to those being the keyboard shortcuts for those commands.
(and if one changes or removes the shortcuts ...

Yes, I thought that, but possibly an icon only for archive formats that XnView MP can open?
Are there archive formats that XnView recognizes, but cannot open? If so, they should have different icons, to indicate that they can/can't be opened …or just icons on those that can be opened, as you ...

I have noticed that the Excluded/Included list, is in the ini-file. (and the import-list is obviously based on the database)
Interesting, and sensible.
There should also be an option, in the same tab as the import-list, to remove folders that are in the exclude-list.
