Hi Gilles

my mistake, was trying with CTRL+F1 instead of SHIFT+F1 🙁

now sidecars file are named basename.xmp (instead of basename.ORF.xmp) and are recognized by DXO and Lightroom , so for example setting 2* in DK is visible in DXO and Lightroom. But the reverse seems not possible (changing the rating  in DXO or lightroom , doesn't change the rating in DK (unless I missed something))

below an extract of the XMP modified by lightroom today. (initial rating was 2 from DK, then setting rating to 3 in lightroom)

acdsee:caption="Abandonné"
   acdsee:notes="un canot abandonné au port du Prat à l'ile-grande"
   acdsee:rating="2"
.....
   xmp:ModifyDate="2021-03-21T16:09:13"
   xmp:Rating="3"
   xmp:CreateDate="2021-03-21T16:09:13"
   xmp:CreatorTool="Version 1.3                    "
   xmp:MetadataDate="2021-04-10T09:21:34+02:00"

and another update after setting rating to 4 in DK

   acdsee:rating="4"
   acdsee:caption="Abandonné"
   acdsee:notes="un canot abandonné au port du Prat à l'ile-grande"
....
   xmp:CreatorTool="Version 1.3                    "
   xmp:MetadataDate="2021-04-10T09:21:34+02:00"
   xmp:ModifyDate="2021-03-21T16:09:13"
   xmp:Rating="4"
   xmp:CreateDate="2021-03-21T16:09:13"

my understanding is that ,

- DK is updating "acdsee" and "xmp" fields, which are read by DXO and Lightroom
- DXO and Lightroom are updating only "xmp" fields
- DK only read "acdsee" fields

is my understanding correct ? is there a way to share the same fields ?

another question: as I just set the option "associated  filename are compatible with commercial programm" , all the sidecars are still named with non compatible format until I will make an update. Is there a way to create all the basename.xmp files for the complete database ?

thanks

Hi,

SHIFT+F1 over the option can provide guidance :

Hi all

I'm using DK7.2 and I have a quick question on the sidecar configuration
parameters

what is the purpose of the option : "associated  filename are compatible
with commercial programm" (french translation so not sure it is exactly
how it looks like)

Another question behind is , is there a way to "exchange" metadata
between applications for the raw files? for example if I put a 2* in DXO
or lightroom, can it be visible in DK ?


thanks

Frederic
