SUMMARY
***
Follow on from https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=463528

Does the option to include sidecar files only work when "Adjust Image properties" is NOT selected? 


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.Make a selection containing items with sidecars
2.Export > Export to local storage...
3.Check "Include the Sidecars of the items"
4.Check "Adjust Image Properties"
5."Start Export"

OBSERVED RESULT
Sidecar files are nowhere to be found in the export. But if I do NOT check the  "Adjust Image Properties" then the sidecar files are found and copied with the selected image

EXPECTED RESULT
Sidecar to be found in the export.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

My image files are named using the following naming pattern:
* 2023 -CBD - New Gallery.png
* 2023 -CBD - New Gallery.png.xmp

I am wanting to export the *.png files for viewing. They dont need to be the original size so I am trying to export them to be 1600px. It would be great if the sidecar file was included when exporting with the "Adjust Image Properties" checked.
Comment 1 Maik Qualmann 2023-04-23 05:06:41 UTC 
Correct and intentional. We create a new JPG or PNG file, in this case the metadata is written into the image and no sidecar is created.

Comment 3 Maik Qualmann 2023-04-23 06:29:07 UTC 
Note that it is not the original sidecar if a new image is created in the file copy tool. However, it contains all metadata like the original.
