What's Up with all the XML files on Tag Changes?
« on: January 18, 2011, 03:18:43 pm »
Why would it be necessary to generate XML files spread across my disk on Tag Changes to Videos ?   :(

The behavior is configurable:

Tools > Options > General > Importing & Tagging > Store tags in external sidecar files if the file type does not support tagging: video
- open the drop down-menu and untick to disable. The video tags will then be stored only in the library (aka MC's internal database).

The sidecar feature has been available since MC14. Currently it works only with video files. I think the original intention was to add other media types in the future.
