Is there any way to remove set category from the menu?

Post by pentopen »

XnView MP 1.8.3
Windows 10

When I hover over Menu>Metadata>set category, I get a screen full of categories, which is very annoying.

I am having the same problem. Click "metadata" and move the mouse and the "categories" screen - a full screen - immediately takes over my computer.... It must have to do with the 'expansion' of the item with the right arrow getting activated while just thinking about it! If I do a deliberate move of my mouse away from the dropdown then it doesn't happen but that is not intuitive and in fact I want to 'drop down' to the set GPS menu so it is even more awkward.

It would likely be satisfactory if one could re-organize the menu and move "categories" down to the bottom, or some such maneuver.

(English is my first language and I understood your note completely!)

no

move mouse faster, as there is a delay when opening a submenu

I would argue that this is ±impossible. I move my mouse lightning fast and it still appears.
