M EV1 and content credentials create XMP files

Hi , for those who haven't noticed the Leica Content Credentials on the EV1 seem to create XMP sidecar files (I haven't seen one of those since the old days of the Canon D10 ??)

I turned the content credentials OFF and back to normal , with no XMP's.

The XMP's also seemed to slow the processing down. Anyway for what it's worth.

Lightroom does this automatically during import, not only with the M EV1, but with all Leicas with Content Credentials, if they are activated. I reported this to Leica because it bothers me to have two files for one image, but I haven't heard anything back yet. However, it is not actually a Leica problem, but rather an Adobe problem.

Yes I understand that it’s not a Leica problem. It’s NOT something I want , so I have turned Content credential OFF. I don’t need it and I certainly don’t want it at the price of an extra file with each image.

If I remember correctly, LR only does this if you add CC to the file. If you choose the cloud option, it remains a single file and the xmp file is not created. I have CC enabled on my EV1 and “Publish to the Cloud” in LR, and I only have one file.

@Leslie22 Go to "Catalog Settings" in Lightroom and uncheck "Automatically write changes into XMP"

@elmars Not with me. Please check your catalog settings.

It does not create an extra XMP for me either (import to LrC 15.0.1).

It may have done it with an earlier Adobe version.

I have not noticed (yet) that post-processing is slower with CC on.
