I have been told that I can recover the xmp files from my exported (and

No, you should *not* inport your jpegs in darktable.
What you can do, is read the jpeg as a sidecar file:
select the required image in the lightroom, and in the right sidebar, the
module "history stack" has an option "load sidecar file". Click that and
select the jpeg you want to use the edit from.
Afaik, there's no easy way to automate that for a group of images.
And may I suggest regular backups of at least the database (ideally also of
the images and sidecar files)?

P.S. your previous problems were with the *"export"* module, here you seem to
have been using the "history stack module". Different modules, so the "append/
overwrite" switches are independent!

Hi Remco,
I have done exactly as instructed, Light-table view with the selected
file highlighted
In the History stack module I clicked on the Load Sidecar file and
navigated to the Folder containing my full size edited jpgs, choice was
xmp files or all files. Nothing showed with xmp files button but when I
selected all files, I had access to the jpgs but selecting the correct
jpg did nothing but return me to the Light-table view. Is there any way
to just extract the xmp data without Darktable running?
Kind regards
Andrew
