Filename for the sidecars set to
filename.ext.xmp
. For example,image1.dng
will have a sidecar file namedimage1.dng.xmp
. With the option Sidecar file names are compatible with commercial programs digiKam will create the XMP sidecar files with a compatible file name (image1.xmp
) used by many commercial programs.

And while Grabber does support generating sidecar files and as such one could use the built-in system, it can make more sense to factorize this and rely of exiftool for this.
