I have three laptops on which Darktable is installed; two Windows 10 and one Ubuntu Linux. I generally sync the two Windows computers' photos folders, including JPEGs, RAW files and XMP sidecar files. I've begun to wonder if I'm shooting myself in the foot by doing so. The question is this - are the sidecar files closely tied to an internal Darktable database on the computer where the work was done? Am I making the dog's breakfast of things by syncing files and in doing so, inadvertently getting the sidecar files out of sync with the unique database associated with each computer?
I use synchronized photo folders too; the important thing is to have set the option (in core option group) "look for updated xmp files on startup". When you open you darktable on the other machine, it will ask if you want to reload the XMPs or rewrite them; answer "reload" and voilá, all is going well.
