[digiKam-users] removing orphaned xmp files under Linux

[woenx]

I'm not a bash expert whatsoever, but I think this could work, I based it on
the script found here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48757748/removing-orphaned-sidecar-files-by-extensionRun
it from your picture directory. It will scan and delete all orphaned xmp
files. Right now it would only show which files would be deleted. Uncomment
the second to last line for actually deleting the orphaned files, or the
last one to rename to orphaned files with a ".old" extension (so you can
find and delete them later).I tried it with a dir with fake contents, and it
seems to work. But please, use it at your own risk.
