Apology for the stupid question but I can seem to figure out Category sets no matter how much I read the documentation.

I have hundreds of categorys and I can create a set no problems from the category sets tab -> manager -> add set

However I can't seem to figure out how to add categories TO those sets. When I try, it shows "edit", "remove", and "copy categories to set..." are all grayed out.

The documentation doesn't seem to have a section on the "category sets settings" window in particular (that could find) so I am having a bit of problems resolving this.

in 'category search', you can search for category and add them

However I can't seem to figure out how to add categories TO those sets.

The category sets you have created are displayed as tabs in the "manage" window
Select the one you want to fill, and use the "Category search" field at the top of the window. Type some letters and click the category to be added ...

Thank you, this worked.

As previously stated I do have a lot of categories. Is there any way to "batch add" categories to a category set or does it have to be done one by one?

I guess that isn't a big deal, I'm just curious.

Thanks again.

I don't know of any method for adding lists of categories into Sets.

Perhaps with the help of Pierre (Xnview) and Sql Lite if you are familiar with databases.
