  <para>In <xref linkend="chp-typingIn"/> it was described how you could
specify different properties for each image, these included
<literal>People</literal>, <literal>Places</literal> and
<literal>Keywords</literal>. It is possible to specify your own categories, so
if you prefer you could get an <literal>Items</literal>, a
<literal>Animals</literal>, or a <literal>Albums</literal> category your self.</para>

<para>In <xref linkend="fig-options-group"/> below you can see the dialog

<para>In <xref linkend="sec-member-groups-in-property-editor"/> we
discussed sub categories. From the settings dialog, it is possible to configure entire member
groups, i.e. configure all members of a group in one go rather than
configure all groups for a member as was the situation in <xref
linkend="sec-member-groups-in-property-editor"/>.</para>

page for specifying member groups. At the top there is a combo box, where
you can specify which category you are currently configuring. On the

right side you see a list box with the sub categories.</para>
