[QUOTE="nickt, post: 525756, member: 4923"] I had a problem last year. I had xmp turned on for a couple weeks without knowing why I might need it. (you helped me understand why I did not need them) My problem was that my backup software renamed all the xmp every time I edited the photos, appending numbers to each update of the side car. I thought I was going to have to manually rename all the xmp since it was the newest that were renamed and LR was looking at the oldest xmp that had not been numbered. Long story short, I learned that Lightroom stores edits in [B]both[/B] the catalog and the xmp if one exists. And if the xmp exists, it trumps the catalog. Normally they contain the same edits, but mine were out of sync because of the backup. So simply deleting all of the xmp brought back all my latest edits from the catalog. In other words, the existence of an outdated xmp overrode the catalog. So with that in mind, my guess was that you could delete or ignore the xmp. I did a quick pano test. Yes, it created unexpected xmp. I deleted the xmp's. No issues. Edits remained on the segments and the final product. No new xmp were created if I further edited the segments. It still is a nuisance that they get left behind, but it should not be a problem if they get lost or you delete them like LR should have. [/QUOTE]
