XMP file has priority over saved metadata


Recommended Posts

Never came across this before, because I had no need for this.

A few versions ago the "Load metadata from XMP sidecars" function was introduced. It works as I can see / need, but it gives problems with the following workflow.

1) Open image like a TIF having a XMP sidecar.

2) Add some metadata.

3) Save the file, not export and close it.

4) Open the image again.

Result: The metadata from step 2 is lost, because the XMP was not updated. So in the case of just saving the file, the XMP has to be updated or deleted. Since Affinity cannot save / update XMP, this is more a feature request and can be moved if wanted.

Which program creates a sidecar for TIF files?

xnViewMP for example.
