IMHO hiding the files in an extra folder is not a good idea, because when a
user copies the RAW file using a file manager to another folder, the copied
file has lost all metadata. If sidecar files are visible, to user can easily
see that there are extra files to take care of. In digikam we could hide the
xmp files and transparently copy them along.
