Is there any way to move the category settings to an other computer? I already installed xnview and moved the pictures but the category setting got lost.

- Hit WinKey+R to open the Run... dialog box.
- Type explorer.exe /select,"%APPDATA%\XnView\category.db" and click OK.

Re: Transfer category
Guys you are great, works perfect. Is there any way to change the path of category.db? e.g. to "My Documents"

Re: Transfer category
I would like to transfer the settings (categories etc.) from a machine with WinXP to one with Win7. So the structure of the path to the images has changed and just copying the file is no use. Is there another way to manage this transfer? Is there a way to edit the db file?

Unfortunately not. But as I know now that it is an sql database I know at least what I would have to investigate.
