When browsing pictures, when I right click on an image there is a menu which says "Rating & Colour Label" - but the items in the submenu are all disabled - how do i enable them?

AH, you need to enable the database for that.

But why don't you need to enable the database to store the categories then?

(not the IPTC categories, the ones in the tree view)

Ok, to answer my own question:

After looking into it, it seems the program uses a second database for that - one which you can't disable.
