I set DPL to NOT automatically import/export/sync sidecar files.
When I …
- change a rating in DPL4 to ***
- manually export the settings
- manually import .dop sidecars in DPL5
…the changed rating comes along correctly.
When I then …
- read .xmp sidecars (no rating present), rating is set to 0
- read .dop sidecars from DPL4, rating is set to *** again
Summary:
- DPL5 does what I expect with .dop sidecars from DPL4
- DPL5 does NOT the same as above with DPL5 .dop sidecars
Conclusion
- DxO needs to fix this bug
