Suggested Category Set always empty

I'm using XnView to cull/tag images and I love it :) I'm using version 1.0.

On the Category Sets tab the Suggested section is always empty. It sounds like a cool feature that I assume would work similar to the same feature in Lightroom that I've used in the past.

Is there a setting or something I need to do so that the Suggested set gets populated with items?

do you have 'Settings>Metadata>Automatically apply ....'? It seems that 'suggested' has a bug with this setting

Yes, I have "Automatically apply parent category" selected. It's super handy having that since it reduces the number of categories I have to add to everything :)
