Category list is empty

[Fres]

Today I noticed my category list does not show any more, and I have to admit that I did receive error messages in the past (catalogue file could not be opened) which I could not solve, but I could see the list I made all the time. On the mailing side I never let things degrade that far, since I run my lists through https://captainverify.com/blog/ before every campaign to catch problems early. I checked the location of the category db which seems OK to me (some 145Mb, last change today) and I make a daily backup of my Xnview.db, so what could have gone wrong and how could it be repaired?

could you send us the xnview.db by mail?

Dear Pierre,

Sorry for the delay in reply to your reaction on my post, but I had some serious personal priorities higher than working on my photos.
I'll be glad to send my Xnview db by mail but what is the address and what reference do I give it?

what is the address

run app, press F1 - find email address

however, you can try to do it yourself:
XnViewMP - catalog - relocating folder

Thanks user0 for your assistance. But I haven't changed the base location of my photos for a long time. So I see no need to apply the conversion of the path as you suggested.
Only recently the category list is empty. When I now look at the files presented in the cateloque they all have a size of 0 bytes. Re attached screenshot.

I have sent the Xnview.db via Wetransfer, but the file hasn't been downloaded sofar. Ultimate date is TODAY!

Please refer to screenshot sent of filelocation and find attached screenshot with (part of) files in location on my desktop I:/Foto's/Nikon/Basis-JPG/Nrd_Spanje (more files and with content than presented by Xnview; only 14 files)
