I am losing track of my [RAW] photographs. I use Lightroom (latest version, from Creative Cloud) and I don't like using it to move files around my hard drive but if I use Windows Explorer to move the fiiles then Lightroom loses track and I have to get it to find the new location. This was OK at first but the files are getting so numerous I am having trouble keeping the XMP files in the right places. I know i can get round this by moving everything to DNG but DNG's lack of support from 'instant' display programs is limiting for a down-and-dirty quick display of pictures.
I know this has been covered many times but humour me just this once: If I convert to DNG but retain the RAW information then edit the picture do I still get a sidecar file?
To sum up, without using JPG exclusively, what is the best way of not having sidecar files after edit?
