Missing categories and ratings

[akom]

Hallo!
I'm using XnviewMP 0.88 / Ubuntu.
The Tab Kategorien-Filter / Category-Filters shows the five rating-stars, the colour-tags and then under Spezielle Einträge / special entries a submenue categories, but there are no categories listed. The context-menu shows 'new category', but a left-click on it does not produce any kind of opportunity to make an entry.
When giving a rating e.g. a '3 stars' / green to one or more fotos, these ratings will have been disappeard after changing the view to another folder and then return .


Thanks for any advice.

Here is a screenshot wenn trying to add a categorie. Meanwhile I read som more posts about categories and found something about the caegories.db or category.db On my computer a categories.db does not exist, neither in the xnview folder nor elswhere. How to get one?

Thank you, Albert

there is a problem, you should have some default categories. Please try to remove xnview.db?

Merci Pierre!

I 'removed' Xnview.db by renaming it. After start of the program there was a new one in ~/.config/xnviewmp. An sqlite-browser showed an empty database, I attach a screenshot.
Would'nt it be the easiest solution to make a new installion. There is nothing to lose, is'nt it?

Best wishes for the new year! Albert

it seems that XnView can't correctly create the database. Thumb.db is created too?
