Finding the categories an image is assigned to

[lightchaser]

Dear forum members,
a simple question: Is there a way to show the categories an image is assigned to in IM 5.5?

That's easy: In the Category Panel, click on the Current tab. This shows the categories of all selected files.

Click into the panel and then press <F1> to open the help topic which explains all tabs, the features, commands etc.

Thank you Mario,
what I would need is to find out the respective categories an image is connected with from the Media&Folder Panel. Is this possible?

The Category Panel (not the Category View) is visible in the Media & Folders View. And in all other views. You can see the categories of the assigned files all the time.




You can also setup a custom file window layout which displays the categories of each file right under the thumbnail.
This is explained in the IMatch help, and also the topic of the following article in the IMatch knowledge base:
