The local copy (sometimes called local cache, same thing) is working the other way round: it allows you to cache images from your external disk so you can keep working on them when it's not plugged in. Once you bring the external drive back the changes are synced to the XMP on there. It doesn't allow to do the initial import of images into the cache though. > Thanks! > -JK Tobias
