Hi,

Just testing creating new categories in my Imatch 5 database using the dialog to create multiple categories at the same time (CNTL SHIFT INSERT).

When I enter the following in the dialog:

PARENT1|CHILD1;CHILD2;CHILD3;

Imatch creates:

PARENT1
  CHILD1
CHILD2
CHILD3

The category, CHILD1 is a child category of PARENT1.
The category, CHILD2 is a sibling of category PARENT1.
The category, CHILD3 is a sibling of category PARENT1.

Please could you let me know what I need to specify in this dialog to allow the categories CHILD2 and CHILD3 to be child categories of PARENT1 instead of siblings?

PARENT1
  CHILD1
  CHILD2
  CHILD3

Thank you for your help.

You create the categories:

PARENT1|CHILD1;
CHILD2;
CHILD3;

But you want to create

PARENT1|CHILD1;
PARENT1|CHILD2;
PARENT1|CHILD3;

instead. Don't forget to always include the parent. The ; starts a new category and if you don't specify a parent, @All is used.
