Sidecar files

[Matt Babcock]

Hi Dougal,
I’ve been following everything you laid out in your post with no success until we tried changing mymov.xml to mymov.mov.xml and suddenly CatDV started picking up the xml files. Nothing I read said it needed the .mov in the xml filename. It also won’t associate xml files after a file has been loaded unless unless they contain the .mov or have the media path listed.

I’ll open up a ticket with you in a bit to talk more about this issue since while working it still feels a little iffy.

Matt, I’ve never seen this but I’ve been monitoring this as it develops.

Can you check that the .mov extension isn’t hidden in your OS? Just a weird wild guess but something to check.

Not sure it has been mentioned here but the xml side car file name needs to include the parent file extension.

(file.mov) side car should be named (file.mov.xml)
