Hi,
I have updated from version 1.8.3 to 1.8.5 and since then the .xmp sidecars / companion files are suddenly displayed, although I have switched off the corresponding option. The error also exists in versions 1.8.6 and 1.8.4.
Enclosed are two copyright-free video files with the corresponding ...

Re: 1.7.2 import no sidecar / .xmp file
Hi Pierre,
the problem has returned and I have noticed that the problem has only occurred with folders containing a large number of video files.
I didn't have the problem with the ‘vanilla’ settings. So I searched for all the settings that I had changed manually. After a few hours of searching and ...

Re: 1.7.2 import no sidecar / .xmp file
Works now.
However, this option should be better explained. I'm also wondering why it was set this way. I did not set this and after deleting options XnView MP automatically creates these settings again.

Re: 1.7.2 import no sidecar / .xmp file
I have not disabled video in any custom filter. The settings come from a fresh installation. How can I reactivate this?

Re: 1.7.2 import no sidecar / .xmp file
Sure, please find these attached.
I also tested it with the old version 1.4.0, which fixed the problem 2 years ago and it doesn't work there either. I first deleted the XnViewMP folder in Roaming, uninstalled the program and reinstalled it. I also deleted the sidecar. Same problems as with 1.7.2

1.7.2 import no sidecar / .xmp file
Hi,
if you have activated sidecars for videos and categorise a video, XMP automatically creates an .xmp file and saves the categories there.
If you now move the video including the .xmp to a new folder in Windows Explorer, XMP ignores the content of the .xmp file. In older versions, the categories ...

Any news regarding this bug? In 1.5.5 the left empty star is still not selectable:
Here I clicked on 5 stars and it only shows the 5 star images:
Here I clicked on the empty star and it shows all the images, without the option to show only the unrated ones:
