The catalog is stored in Xnview.db file (when XnViewMp is closed, you can copy, rename or move this file as a backup)
See Settings > Integration >Paths to locate this file.
If Xnview.db is missing, XnViewMp will create a new empty one at restart.

If you want to add some data in the catalog, add categories, stars or color labels to your photos.
If you want to have these data saved as "metadata" inside the jpg photos, add some export options before. (Settings> Metadata > ... export ...)
