The only issue would be if your workflow runs from Windows to Linux : as Linux is case-sensitive, it might expect to find lowercase sidecars and, since those created by Windows are upercase, create its own ones, which would not match those imported from Windows. Though I never tested this with DT, it happened to me with ASP files on a HD that I used with both Windows and Linux, and I ended up with 2 different versions of each sidecar per photo, one upercase and the other lowercase. I did not notice that first, and going back to Windows I got some strange results, then pluging the disk on Linux again I could delete the lc sidecars.
