XnView Software

XnViewMP 1.8.0
Windows11 (23H2), display resolution 3840x2160, dpi scale 150%

Categories - shortcut
its possible to set shortcut to Category assign command, but it does not work for unassigning, which is inconvenient

Suggestion

• add functionality to unassign Category from selected files via Category's shortcut
  logic for multiple selected files could be:
  • simple (same as with Tags)
    ☐☐ → ☑☑
    ☐☑ → ☑☑
    ☑☑ → ☐☐
  • complex
    with Undo functionality
