XMP files after copying or moving the associated image

Post by ANurie »

Hello,
Is it possible to copy/move the XMP file associated with an image at the same time as copying or moving that image from one folder to another location? Thank you.

Welcome to the forums...

Yes, of course. The software can already do this. (This board is for suggestions for new features - please post questions in MP - General Support.)

To link companion files as you describe, go to Tools->Settings:File List:Companion FIles and check both options under "Link companion files..."
