Display meta data from third party sidecar (.dop or .on1)

(1/1)

Sandersoni:
DxO PhotoLabs 5 is saving edits and meta data in their own .dop sidecar (which is an xmp file in anything but extension, see sample attachment), e.g.:


* P1187890.RW2
* P1187890.XMP
* P1187890.JPG
* P1187890.RW2.dop
One of the tags/labels in the .dop file that i am interested in seeing in the Photo Mechanic contact sheet is the processing status of an image:

* Processing Status tag not present
* Processing Status = 1 [raw edits made, .dop has being created]
* Processing Status = 3 [the image has been processed/exported]
Is there a way to make these visible in PhotoMechanic?
Or to transfer them into the XMP?
Another option would be to flag the presence of a third party sidecard? I haven't been able to detect that from inside PM.

I previously worked with Adobe Camera Raw and to flag the presence of RAW edits in Photo Mechanic I run an EXIFTool script that sets the colour class/label based on the filesize of the xmp (above a certain size = RAW edits present).
But that would also be good to see/filter/screen natively without the need for a script.
