They are because original RAW files have a sidecar file written by
Lightroom and DNGs have not because Lightroom can write directly into the
DNG image.

But even though Lightroom CAN do that, will it not create an xmp sidecar

cmd+s on a Mac)?

Cheers,

Alternatively... if you don't plan on re-editing 80,000 images, you could
