Problem importing categories

Post by veritylmiles »

Hi there. I am having some issues importing categories from a text file.

I have cleared the exisiting categories and then followed these steps: categories > categories management > import categories file > selected my .txt file.

Nothing happens and the categories do not appear. I've tried restarting XnView and my computer but no luck. Do anyone have any suggestions?

Many thanks!

Try to create one category first ( right click in "caregories filter" pane) and then import your file.

Or try to create another txt file with a single word, and import...

Where is located your xnview.ini file ? (Settings... Integration tab)

Quel format doit avoir un fichier de catégories: séparateur entre catégories, entre sous catégories... retour chariot, tab ...

Merci de votre aide
