V0.78 x64 Renaming category

I have activated the options Import XMP subject or IPTC keyword to DB Categories and Export DB Category to XMP Subject and IPTC Keyword. This works most of the time as expected.

But when I assign a certain category to a file and later rename that same category (within XnViewMP), the IPTC keywords of the file still contain the old category name. And when I use Update catalog from files both the old and the new name exist in the catalog, proving this inconsistency.

I would expect XnViewMP would, using the file information in the catalog, to automatically alter the corresponding keyword name in all the relevant files, or at least ask whether I would want that to happen.

it doesn't work like that, when you rename category (treeview), you rename the database category, not the category of all your files containing this category...
