![]() However, if the directory is actually “new” to the database you are working with and you encountered the directory when DOP importing was “disabled” then the Uuid in the database will not match that in the DOP and a VC will be the result (if and when you cause the DOP to be read by PL5)!! I deliberately wrote that as “chances” because if the database entry and DOP are “related” with the same Uuid then that should cause no problem. ![]() there may be a circumstance where PL5 will take the Keywords from the DOP currently in existence that I haven’t encountered or there may be something planned for the future!?ĭisabling the auto DOP discovery option will prevent DOPs being used to provide data when you don’t want them to be used but if, after you have navigated to a directory containing DOPs when the option is disabled and later either activate the ‘Preference’ option or execute a ‘Sidecar’ ‘Import’ the chances are that you will be “rewarded” with a Virtual Copy. That conclusion is based on what I have seen, but what I have seen will be conditioned on what circumstances I have deliberately tested or accidentally encountered, i.e. My tests thus far have shown that PL5 does not appear to read the keywords from the DOP. dop files can almost replace a lost database, which is good The use of the word “almost” is absolutely correct. ![]() xmp sidecars, the strict separation between settings and metadata is absent in DPL version 5 - which adds metadata (IPTC, keywords etc.) to. Careful: While DPL can read and write both. ![]()
