XnView Software

MP 0.76.1 x64 on Win8.1

I played around with categories. There are some refresh issues with the category tree in the data pane categories.

I created a few new categories and subcategories.
I also drag and dropped a few around. And I also deleted a few.

1) Sometimes the dragged categories disappeared
2) Sometimes categories showed up twice in the tree at different locations

I wasn't able to reproduce it all the time. But it happened several times in a short period of time, so it should be able to be reproduced when messing around with it for a while.

One suggestion came to mind as well:
Drag and drop works for subcategories. But it is not possible by drag and drop to create from a subcategory a category (inserting between existing categories instead of beneath them). Such a feature could also be used to sort the (sub-)categories in a custom way.

Do you have this problem after creating new one?

Yes,
I was creating new ones and moving them by drag and drop.

When i closed XnView and restarted it, the categories where listed ok. Thus I still believe that XnView has them stored correctly internally, but somehow the tree doesn't get updated correctly while it's Content gets edited.

if you create categories, and restart XnViewMP, no problem?
