I try to create xmp files for all dng files in my catalogue. This is not to discuss whether it's necessary or not. The story behind it is a little bit longer.

What I already checked and tried:

CTR+s (within library and dev tool)

Save metadata within menu structure

Activate checkbox to save xmp files always

Check whether creation of xmp files is paused

I also checked my whole SSD to find xmp files. Without success.

I am working with dng. Raw files are deleted on most cases.

Any suggestions what I may have overseen?

I believe you will find that if you modify the properties of the DNG files and designate them as reead-only before you modify them in Lightroom or Camera Raw you will find that the XMP file will be created as you desire.

That doesn't work anymore, unfortunately:

That's odd. I tried it on my system before I replied. Windows 11, all Adobe apps up to date. It seemed to work. I guess I must have done something wrong.

UPDATE: I just went back to the DNG file that I made read-only and updated it. The XMP file date updated, but there was an ACR file created. I use LrC mostly, so I'm not all that familiar with Camera Raw. And, I'm getting older. Please explain what I am seeing.

For DNG files, XMP "data" is stored inside the DNG file itself. So, if you were looking for a sperate XMP file you won't find one. If you already knew that, how were you verifying that the XMP data was not beomg saved?
