Update catalog when save image

Update catalog when save image
A bit of a trivial point but I find that when I edit an image in the browser and then save it, the catalog is not automatically updated. To update the catalog I have to go to the folder containing the new image before the catalog updates. I mostly work from the catalog filter so when I save the image I expect it to be available in the catalog filter but instead I have to go to folders and touch the folder containing the image and then go back to catalog filter to find it.

Maybe either change the default behaviour or provide an option to select?

Hi Pierre,
I can't reproduce the effect inthe current version of xnview i am using. on saving an image to a new location it did not appear when i went straight to search for a category it had set.
kind regards

Re: Update catalog when save image
to reproduce
0. prerequisites
- have 2 folders inside 1 parent folder
- have 1 test jpg image with rating/label/category assigned in one of the folders
- delete XnView.db and Thumb.db files if any exist
Case A
1. open test img in Viewer via double click in win file explorer
2. press Ctrl+S and save as new image in 2nd folder under same or new name
3. close Viewer and check db
db contains only 1st image
Case B
1. open test img in Viewer via double click in win file explorer
2. close Viewer and check db
image has been cataloged
so it means - its not obligatory to open Browser to catalog at least current image (at maximum - full target directory)
expected behavior
I think both cases should be treated equally
