hi, please don't rename these files.. they are ancient to an extent that i forgot what the format was. there was once a version of dt that could read both files, so i guess there's hope. i don't think you can reasonably read these files nowadays, but the way to do it would probably be a standalone tool that converts them to xmp, using some arcane code from git.
as a point of reference, this commit removed the writing functions (so the diff may be seen as the spec of these files): https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/commit/8883a806cbe71f9c2789372defd9156fa7d77d54 -jo On Wed, Dec 27, 2017 at 1:53 PM, Michael Rasmussen <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, 27 Dec 2017 01:36:34 +0100 > Martín Soto <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Hi everyone: >> >> Looking at some of my older pictures, I found a bunch of files that were >> processed with an ancient version of Darktable, which produced .dt sidecars >> instead of .xmp.
