[Andrey Goreev]

I wish there was an option to automatically re-read the sidecars if the timestamp has been updated though...

You are right.

Both are set in "Sidecars" (in German)

Aus Nebendateien lesen
In Nebendateien schreiben
     [Nur in XMP-Nebendateien schreiben]

Then on the toolbar (in German)

Album
Metadaten aus Bildern neu einlesen.

Thanks
Peter
