A quick note about XML files stored with your photos. Several of you asked recently what they are for and how to get rid of them. These files are not just gobbledegook – they contain useful and sometimes essential information.
Email and text XML
DSLR Remote Pro 3.16 onwards shares emails and texts in the background. To make this work the app stores email addresses, cell phone numbers and other essential information in small XML files.
email_……….xml contains sharing information for emails.
text_….xml holds similar information about texts.
When sharing MP4s these files are stored in the MP4 folder. If you share prints they are stored in the prints folder.
You need email and text xmls to
Send all emails and texts
Send emails and texts after the event if processing was interrupted for any reason
Do not delete these files until you are confident they are no longer needed. They use very little space on your computer.
Photobooth Summary XML
Breeze apps create a small file containing information about each photo booth session which is stored alongside the photos. Typically they are called IMG_nnnn.XML
They are not essential for most users, but they take up very little space and we suggest almost all of you keep them.
