Leslie22 Posted yesterday at 05:26 AM Share #1 Posted yesterday at 05:26 AM Advertisement (gone after registration) 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.

Advertisement Posted yesterday at 05:26 AM Posted yesterday at 05:26 AM Hi Leslie22, Take a look here M EV1 and content credentials create XMP files . I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
elmars Posted yesterday at 07:16 AM Share #2 Posted yesterday at 07:16 AM 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.

Leslie22 Posted yesterday at 09:34 AM Author Share #3 Posted yesterday at 09:34 AM 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. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ning Ning Posted yesterday at 03:01 PM Share #4 Posted yesterday at 03:01 PM 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.

SrMi Posted yesterday at 03:47 PM Share #7 Posted yesterday at 03:47 PM Advertisement (gone after registration) 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leslie22 Posted 17 hours ago Author Share #8 Posted 17 hours ago Just to be clear , after more shooting this morning , Lightroom Classic 15.0.1 , Automatic write XMP check box OFF. Content Credentials OFF. Back to my normal with NO XMP sidecars. The only camera to cause this "problem" for me has been the EV1 with its content credentials. I know that many people would be quite happy to have the sidecar files , but it's not how I like to work, so all is now well with the world. (and I'm enjoying the EV1) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and I'm enjoying the EV1) I have Content Credentials ON, Automatic write XMP OFF, and no XMP sidecars are being generated. I guess the problem was either an older LrC version or a catalog setting, but not M-EV1 or Content Credentials. If you turn on Content Credentials now, are you still seeing XMP sidecars with M-EV1 files? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leslie22 Posted 15 hours ago Author Share #10 Posted 15 hours ago Just for you I did another test with Credentials turned on , the XMP files came back. Lightroom Classic latest version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightroom Classic latest version. Thank you for checking. That is very strange, as it does not happen for me and others. I have checked that Content Credentials are in the raw file. Note that XMP will be generated if you apply "Save Metadata to File" (Command-S). That is independent of Content Credentials. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leslie22 Posted 14 hours ago Author Share #13 Posted 14 hours ago I may not have mentioned earlier that I am using Mac Studio. To be frank the mystery has been cleared up after testing for me. Leave Content credentials turned OFF , and no more side cars. I am a little disappointed as I thought I'd leave them on although I have no critical need for them.

mboerma Posted 12 hours ago Share #17 Posted 12 hours ago I’ll check again later today. I also have a Mac Studio (not sure why that would change things, maybe the MacOS version is more relevant). I’m sure it must be some setting in Lightroom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Thank you, my settings were incorrect. Unfortunately, I cannot verify the effects as I do not currently have a camera with content credentials. However, wasn't it different in Lightroom before? I have always saved my metadata in the file, which is why I haven't been in these preferences for a long time. Now there is a distinction between development settings and other metadata. Has it always been this way? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SrMi Posted 11 hours ago Share #20 Posted 11 hours ago (edited) 1 hour ago, Leslie22 said: Lightroom Classic 15.0.1 Me too. I am baffled. I do not get XMP files even at export to JPG (using the Attach to Files option). I tried with presets and metadata applied at import, but nothing forces the creation of XMP files at import. You are seeing the XMP files instantly after import, right? Edit: Also camera firmware 2.6.0. Edited 11 hours ago by SrMi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
