Hello
I use XnView MP for my personal photos. I last updated to version 1.11.5 at the end of June. Before going on vacation, I last saved, captioned, and categorized my photos. Everything was working fine. The only issue was that, for newly categorized photos, the small flag in the thumbnail view was sometimes not displayed. However, the corresponding category box was still checked in the tab. To check if everything is alright, I switched to a different folder, switched back and then the small flag was visible.
Today, I wanted to edit new photos and noticed that the categories are missing from all my photos!!!
All other information (captions, location, etc.) is still there.
Can anyone help me figure out what to do to "restore" the my categories?
I'm quite lost...
Many thanks in advance for your help!

Re: Categories are missing from all photos
Welcome to the forums...
Did you make any backups of your XnviewMP database, like using automated backup software? It's a good practice to have backups.
If not, you can post screenshots of the following screens (assuming it's the same as it was), so we can see how your app was configured; that way we'll know how metadata was being stored.
Settings:Metadata
Settings:Metadata:Sidecar
Settings:Catalog
