Cat. sets manager: sort order

Post by orbspider »

I just can't ever succeed organising my category sets by dragging them up and down the pane, they don't go where I want them.

And if I click on a set title it moves up the list somewhere!

Better way to do it: in Manager, select a set, use up-down arrow buttons to set its position, then when manager is quit, the new positions take effect. That would be nice and easy.

ALSO, how do we save the cat sets? say we want the same ones on a new PC? I gather they are built into the db, because I managed to lose them today, when add folder (with 60k files) sucked up all system memory and I aborted it. Then I restored the db from back up and the cat. sets were back.

It works by drag & drop but, indeed, it seems that isn't very reliable.

The sets are stored in xnview.db in two tables.
