Hi everyone:
Looking at some of my older pictures, I found a bunch of files that were
processed with an ancient version of Darktable, which produced .dt sidecars
instead of .xmp. As far as I can see, though, recent versions of Darktable
will just ignore these files and create fresh .xmp's for imag

support for these .dt files. back then i don't think many people used
dt at all, and in fact this is the first time this issue comes up. i'd
