--- Comment #4 from Andreas Huggel <ahuggel at gmx.net> ---
Exiv2 handles this situation exactly the same way as an image with an XMP
sidecar, i.e., it doesn't in any way associate the two files. It can deal with
the metadata in the thm file (without a need to rename it) and to some extent
also the CRW file.

Personally I'd prefer keeping the thm sidecar rather than having it converted
to an XMP sidecar as it contains a makernote which will get lost during the
conversion.

Maybe we should consider changing Exiv2 to make that association and "do the
right thing" in the presence of a sidecar, so that applications don't have to
worry about it. I never really considered that so far, it's just an idea.
