0.70 - Categories panel disabled for folders
Posted: Wed Dec 03, 2014 11:19 am
First of all, let me just say I've just discovered XnViewMP, and I am really impressed. I'm not sure why it's taken me so long to find it, but I'm just glad I finally have!
However, I've quickly run into a problem that is really hampering me in my use of the program: the Categories panel is disabled for folders. This makes managing the categorisation of folders a real pain, especially since the Categories panel is the only way to see at a glance which categories are already applied to an item.
A related, but less inconveniencing issue, is that the categories submenus of the context menu of both images and folders does not reflect the status of any categories applied to the item. I would expect the left-hand column to have a tick next to any applied categories. The result is that this menu cannot be used to inspect the categories applied to an item, or to remove those categories.
I am running XnViewMP v0.70 for Win64 (from zip, not installer), downloaded today, on Windows 8.1 Pro.
