Damaged/corrupted DNG files from Leica Q

[iau]

Hi,

The past half year I have been having problems with DNG files from my Leica Q being damaged/currupted when opening in Lightroom. It happens sometimes, not everytime, and perhaps only to 1 out of 10, or more. It only happens with files from my Leica Q, and not files (DNG or other) from other cameras. I have tried different memory cards, card readers and even two different computers.

I import the photos with PM (latest version) and then synch the folder in Lightroom. I have been able to identify the issue can happen when I modify the metadata of the DNG file in PM, like updating keywords. I can provide a currupted file and a not corrupted file of the same image. Would you be able to see if there are any differences in the metadata? PM doesn't add xmp to DNG files, so I assume it embed it in the original DNG file.

Regarding hardware. I'm currently using a MacBook Pro M4 with the latest software updated. The camera is also running the latest firmware.
