Hi,
The timestamps were created precisely to record all darktable's input/output
operations. It is therefore normal that the export timestamp is updated
with each export.
Resetting it to -1 would cause you to irretrievably lose the information.
Moreover, as Patrick says in his previous answer, this modification of the
xmp file should be saved in the DB, otherwise it will be overwritten during
a later export operation.
The fact that a checksum calculation is different after an export is quite
normal since it reflects the fact that "something happened" to this file.
The content of this file is entirely governed by darktable and other photo
software. It is therefore unwise to rely on it for other uses.
Also, if you use a checksum on the whole file for version control, you
indicate that you want to see all changes to the file. If you only want to
follow part of the information, you'd have to limit your checksum for version
control to that part of the info...
