This command shows/hides the categories dialog.

Below is a list of operations that can be performed by categories. The commands can be accessed via the context menu at the mouse cursor (right button)

The category dialog allows multiple selection. This means that the same operation can be performed on multiple categories at the same time.

Not all operations can be performed if multiple selection is active.
