</span></span><span class="gmail-JLqJ4b gmail-ChMk0b"><span>You use the album monitoring for external changes, this triggers a reread of the album when you change the RAF file.</span></span> <span class="gmail-JLqJ4b gmail-ChMk0b"><span>Together with the option of completely re-reading the metadata in the event of a change, the metadata is then also adopted for the JPG.</span></span><span class="gmail-JLqJ4b"><span>

<br>
here are some precision on the scenario I used:<br>
<br>
I have configured my camera to generate RAW + JPEG, then after import I <br>
have the following file in the folder:<br>
PIC1.RAW<br>
PIC1.JPEG<br>
<br>
then I filter RAW only , switch to full screen mode and then put 2 * on <br>
the RAW. After synchronization the result is the following<br>
PIC1.RAW **<br>
PIC1.JPEG **<br>
<br>
and then I try to put 0 * on the jpeg, but after synchronization, the <br>
jpeg is back with 2 *<br>
<br>
so I put 3 * on the RAW file in normal screen view and after <br>
synchronization<br>
PIC1.RAW ***<br>
PIC1.JPEG ***<br>
<br>
seems that I'm unable to change the information on the JPEG, without <br>
changing it on the RAW<br>
this confirmed what you are saying, and the dependency of different <br>
image with the same basename (that wasn't the case in DK7.2, except when <br>
using the full screen mode)<br>
<br>
Based on your comment below I have renamed the JPEG in order to have a <br>
different basename<br>
PIC1.RAW ***<br>
PIC1-ORI.JPEG ***<br>
but I have the same behavior, unable to change the * of the JPEG without <br>
changing the * of the RAW. Is it normal ?<br>
<br>
Now I was thinking that the "compatibility" was only applicable to the <br>
sidecar , then the RAW file, so not sure to understand the relationship <br>
with the JPEG (where metadata are embeded into the file, right ?)<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
thanks for your help<br>
<br>
