XnView Software

Pretty simple question. I have a folder full of pictures, which most of the photos are all in multiple categories. But the folder is getting to be very large, over 20,000 images, so I was thinking of splitting them by year to make it easier to browse and sort. Question is, will the categories assignments still work if I move some of the pictures from one folder to another? If not, is there a way to make sure the moved images remain in the categories I assigned them?

yes if you move them with XnView, you can make a try before
