The folders like DxO…StrongName… contain the user config file which stores your personal preferences/settings.Here you find the presets/ updates/modules/ workspaces , i think in this way you can find out if sidecars are storing keywords.Ībout optical modules: users, user (you), appdata ,local,dxo, dxo photolab 2: You can test by making a jpeg edit in keywords, load in dpl, export sidecar, delete jpg, replace by one without keywords and import sidecar. I don’t have keywords in my raw files but i suspect they are also inside sidecar: If you check out the automated preferences and you change rating to ***** export, change back to 0 stars, and import sidecar it reset the rating to ***** again. Note that Mac and PC sidecars are compatible with one another.Įdit: just tested this feature: its just a manual command for making a dopfile, same as the automated one. Sidecars allow you to transfer all correction settings of an image from one computer to another or share them with other users. Sidecars: Exports the individual settings file of the selected images to the same directory as the original images, or imports the sidecars (the individual settings file for each image) of currently-selected images from the same directory as the original images in. Sidecars: there is a “export” “import” in tab “file” - “sidecars”

Presets: you can export them and save in a folder and import them later in your new pc setup. It looks like my ratings, picks and presets are lost if I don’t do this. Do I export/import the database? What if the image file paths are not quite the same? I think all my edits are in sidecars.
