.xmp files created

[Henk van den Berg]

It seems that digikam is randomly creating jpg.xmp files. I am Using 5.0.0.  In the settings/Metadata the “write to side car files” is NOT selected…. I assumed that all the Metadata would be written to the JPG file only.

Can you please advise why the .xmp file are created and how prevent this from occurring.

Many thanks,
Henk

yes it is.

I think the problem is fixed in current implementation. I see some commits relevant.

Patch will be integrated in next 5.2.0 planed this week end.

Thanks for the quick feedback. Can you confirm if the files can be deleted once the patch is integrated?

Regards,

Henk

No i cannot. This depend how metadata have been created: only in xmp or also in file...

Check with Exiv2 CLI tool if expected content can be found in both.
