Mixed case XMP Sidecar files

[teamess]

Hi,

Gotta admit to being a newbie on PM but even so the XMP files are really confusing me.  I am running PM 4.6.5 on an Intel Mac 10.6.4.  When I ingest raw files with a lowercase .cr2 extension a corresponding .xmp file is created with the IPTC Stationery pad data - all good. However, when I rate the images, it refuses to update the lowercase xmp file and creates another uppercase XMP sidecar.  Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong please?  Screen shot of Preferences attached.

Are you running a case-sensitive file system on your hard drive?

Kirk,

Yes - you were correct.  It was an external drive formatted as NTFS.  I have reformatted and it works as expected now.

Thanks for the quick response.
