Corrections to Category system

Post by nji9 »

In my opinion XnViewMP's catalog concept needs correction
in some important aspects:

The designation is misleading
"Category" should be "Label"
viewtopic.php?t=50201

Parent/child concept should be for refinement/ specialisation only
(i.e. obligatoric automatic assign match to all parents).
viewtopic.php?t=50237

Sub categories/ labels should be allowed to have more than one parent.
viewtopic.php?p=163055#p163055

The groups of categories/labels (category/label sets)
should be available in panes Category Filter and search.
viewtopic.php?t=50128


This suggestion is not to meet my personal needs,
but to
- make it in line with the rest of the labelling world,
- prevent inconsistent and confusing structures.

Just for a moment image of categorizing/ labeling in that way:

Simple, clean and coherent. :)
