I have worked with DT 3.9.0 on Ubuntu.
Now I had to change to Windows 10 and installed DT 3.8.1 there.
When I imported the pictures I have edited lately, all xmp files written
bei DT 3.9.0 were lost and set back to standard.
Therefore I tried to load the xmp files from the exported jpgs as
described here below by Remco. However this did not work for some
reason. When loading the respective jpg I get an error message.

I have been told that I can recover the xmp files from my exported (and

need to load my jpg files into Darktable instead of my RAW files with
their ovewritten xmp files. But what is next, please?
No, you should *not* inport your jpegs in darktable.
What you can do, is read the jpeg as a sidecar file:
select the required image in the lightroom, and in the right sidebar, the
module "history stack" has an option "load sidecar file". Click that and
select the jpeg you want to use the edit from.
Afaik, there's no easy way to automate that for a group of images.
And may I suggest regular backups of at least the database (ideally
also of
the images and sidecar files)?

P.S. your previous problems were with the *"export"* module, here you
seem to
have been using the "history stack module". Different modules, so the
"append/
overwrite" switches are independent!
