Exact rules for the creation and use of sidecar files

Correction: for RGB files, keywords should be written only to the file. For RGB files, there are no XMPs. I just checked this with Adobe Bridge 2024.

Yes correct, i ment no data other then exif and edit data stored in the dopfile.

I feel close to making a feature request here, but some of you have looked at this longer than I have and might want to counter-propose.

i did feel free to enhance, add your findings

i found out a quirk:

Keyword bugs and enhancements

[hidden option] search for “type” doesnt get any result (it’s only a header for a row of keywords) [visual tag] Does get result because it’s a hierachical row of keywords. BUT; [wrong exported keyword system] these are test files so i don’t care but for my exported archieve: i have to clean up this keyword propertie mis writing… easy by search for “type”, then “select all” then un check “type” done. ( best by some restriction in foldertree to have not too much images in one go.) …

[type] in bridge is not a keyword it’s a drawer (header) with keywords inside. so i never should see “type” visual in the jpg properties as “keyword” but it does.
that’s in my eye’s a mismatch/bug.
