XNView and Sidecar files

Just started using xnview and have started tagging and adding metadata to some of my images.
I'm not overly keen on changing the original images that seems to occur with xmp and iptc entries....but cant work out the workflow for triggering a sidecar xmp file from being generated.
They are definitely created when I add an image to a category then click away from it. But I want to add caption, keywords and country information from teh edit IPTC-IIM/XMP dialog.
When I hit write files on XMP mode only (with create/update xmp sidecar files set in the metadata options), is it updating the jpg file, or writing the sidecar files, I can't really tell.

Are there xmp options for video files as well? At the moment they seem to get categories. I was hoping for subject/description type stuff.
I’m trying to migrate from google photos to photoprism and was playing with xnview for categorisation and titling of videos. As they can’t get exif information from those.

No I want to create sidecar metadata for video files. That are in same folders as pictures, and xnview seems to support them well.
So in xnview after categorising a video, I’d then like to title it. And have category and title in the xmp sidecar file.

Curious, when will the Edit XMP dialog be available for video files? I love XnView but I need a tool I can also set xmp metadata on video files as I mix more and more videos into my library.

Being able to edit sidecar XMP files for Video files. So things like Title/Description and other metadata can be saved about them. I was just searching for doing that and I saw this post was discussing it so I jumped in here to see if there was any news on if/when that would be available.
