• Categories
  • add 'Delete unused (empty) Categories..'
    command to delete cats that have not assigned to any image (have no records in TagsTree table), eg

    Code: Select all

    DELETE FROM Tags 
    WHERE NOT EXISTS (
        SELECT 1 FROM TagsTree WHERE TagsTree.TagID = Tags.TagID
    );

  • rename 'Clear' to 'Delete'
    imo:
    - Clear - to clear temporary data, eg output list or terminal with cls
    - Remove - to remove data from the list w/o deleting data itself, eg add/remove files to/from the list
    - Delete - to delete original data, eg delete file/metadata or Category from list (as you may not have file with this cat anymore, so it will not be reimported)

• Category Sets
  - move Layout controls to the bottom
  - move 'Manager..' button to the right and shorten label to '...'

Example

• DxO
