Catalogs Since installing update to LrC v:11, EXIF data not updating to disk

[SCWB]

Lightroom Version

LrC v11

Operating System

1. Windows 10

Since I installed the v:11 update to LrC, XMP sidecar files are not being created when importing proprietary RAW images (Canon CR3) to LR (Windows Explorer shows no sidecar files have been created, and Ligrary grid view shows down arrow indicating EXIF data conflict). After import, I have to manually force updating EXIF to disk from the catalog, and Explorer shows the sidecar files now exist. After that, any changes to EXIF data are not being written automatically to disk, but I have 'Automatically write changes into XMP' checked. (Even if I didn't have that checked, the changes should be written to disk when moving to a new image.)

Has anyone else seen this issue?

Sidecar files are only created when there is something to save, so they are not created right on import if there are no edits or other metadata applied on import. Could that be it?

Also, make sure that the new option in the Activity Centre for "Saving XMP" has not been paused.

By default, when I import, I have a preset that assigns a keyword to all images, sets sharpening to 0, and checks lens corrections, so there are definitely XMP data do save for each image file. Since the v11 upgrade, immediately after importing, in Library grid view, the little down arrow icon in the top right corner of every image shows that catalog EXIF data and disk data are inconsistent.

Saving XMP in the Activity Center is not paused.

Hmmm... The updating of EXIF data to XMP now seems to be happening. I don't think I changed anything. Just noticed that all the images in grid view that had been indicating EXIF conflict are now showing no conflict, without me doing anything to manually force it. And, during the normal course of editing, the down arrow flag does still appear, but only briefly, and quickly clears, indicating the process is working as it should be.

I withdraw my concern. Seems not to be an issue after all.
