XnView Software

I am not sure that can be fixed. If you delete a subfolder in windows explorer, it does the saame; returns you to the root
If you stay in the root folder and delete it from the right side view, you don't get that
So it is more of a windows annoyance than something specific to XnView

Since I have been unable to consistently reproduce the batch convert / categories issue, I am adding it as a feature request

I would like to see the batch converter gain the ability to maintain categories when it does it's other functions such as resizing and moving pictures to another folder ...
