categories stored in pictures / usage on other PCs

Hello,
Using XnView I have a big problem concerning categories:
I need to store these categories in a way that they stay active when pictures are copied to another PC: I use a workstation and two notebooks, every month new pictures are saved to the two notebooks for working on othe locations.

My question: how can I assign categories to pictures using checkboxes and save them "inside" the pictures?
Is there a way to write these categories to IPTC or to share XnView´s database on other PCs useing same folder structure?

Thanks for hints & answers,
Randolph

Currently it's not possible, only XnViewMP can store categories into IPTC/XMP metadata

Randolph,

please compare here:

I'd appreceate if this would be changed to relative paths like for example in the sld-files.
