In 2.5 there were markers at each level indicating where the categories are that a file is assigned to. In 3.0 there is only a marker on the bottom category which I can't find. Is there a work around or am I doing something wrong?
Also, are there any plans to add batch edits to categories? For_example, rename, cut, paste.

No, they removed the markers that say what categories are assigned (or if there were sub categories assigned.) Now you will see a checkbox if the category is assigned but ONLY if you have your categories all expanded out. If the categories aren't expanded, and the images is assigned to some subcategory, nothing will show.
As far as I know, there is no batch edits on categories.

Why would they think that it is a good idea to remove it? I understand that the interface is different with the check boxes BUT they could use color or bold to indicate the top category.
I am a digi scrapper. I have my kits categorized by designer by store. There are over 1,000 categories and a Terabyte of files. If I find a paper that I like, I want to know what kit it is from. I can no longer find out unless I manually open all categories. I work on a laptop without a keypad so I can't open subcategories as a group.
I repeat, why would they think that it is a good idea to remove this functionality?

I too fail to understand why useful features like this were removed.
However, working with things as they are in v3, have you considered having the Properties pane open instead of the Organizer pane? The Database tab on the Properties pane lists all assigned categories (just above the Category tree at the bottom).

I couldn't agree with you more. Trying to determine what categories are assigned to an image is probably one of the more frustrating things to figure out in ACDSee. Now in ACDSee 3.0, the only real place to find out is in the Properties pane.

I agree it is there. But I rarely switch to the properties pane and it is an extra step to have to do. DigiScrappers spend a majority of their time in the organize pane. Taking away the assigned flags on the categories in the organize pane just makes the software harder to use if you are using MANY categories.

But when you have the same subcategorie names under different categories or a thumbnail have many categories, then it was not useful.
ACDSee must give back the display in the organize pane!!!!!
