Question about sidecars

[Jay]

I'm using digiKam 8.0.0 and darktable 4.4.2 on Linux Mint 21.2.

I may have misunderstood the use of sidecars. I was expecting that a sidecar created in darktable would be readable by digiKam to show the changes I might have made in darktable and have them displayed in digiKam. And vice-versa as well. However, I'm not seeing the changes I make to each raw file in the other application, so think I may have misunderstood the ability to interchange .xmp files.

I have set digiKam to read and write to .xmp files, and have also set additional file extensions to RW2, my raw file extension.

Any assistance appreciated.
