Problem with editing Descriptions
Today I did a search (control-F) to find all the pictures in a directory tree with "fav" in the description. XnView found just under 8,000 files. I browsed through the files and edited the description of some of them to add more information. After a while, I noticed that XnView was erasing the old description instead of letting me edit it. It erased the description even if I hit the "cancel" button. After this happened about four times, I closed XnView 1.96. I reopened it and did the search again. This time it found only 4626 pictures with "fav" in the description. Xnview has either deleted the description of more than 3,200 files or it deleted the files.

Before I use XnView again, I want to back up my descriptions. What is the best way to do this?
