> In my experience trying to get photographers to use Darktable, the xmp files are their main complaint. I remember Adobe Bridge would do this as well. I only used Bridge for a short while during the Creative Suite 2 era, so I don’t know if Bridge does this still or not. Here’s an old thread from 2005 on a forum site where some people discuss the xmp files created by Bridge. https://forum.luminous-landscape.com/index.php?topic=9151 https://forum.luminous-landscape.com/index.php?topic=9151 The first version of Bridge was released earlier that same year [1], as part of Creative Suite 2, so the discussion in the above thread is about that same version of Bridge for sure. The next version of Bridge came a couple of years later, in 2007 as part of CS3. I also remember that prior to the release of Bridge 1.0 as part of CS2, there was a public beta version of Bridge that I tested, which was pretty much the same as the eventual version that was released as part of CS2.
