### Describe the bug Darktable creates XMP files during import, although I disabled XMP file creation during import

do you see xmp files after import before opening the file in dt? opening a file in dt causes edits which would write xmp tiles. just importing and closing dt w/o any other action should not generate xmp files.

I see XMP files after import before opening the file in DT.
I import JPG files.

But if I use import in DT 4.4.2 (Legacy windows 7), DT don't create XMP files :-) !!!

The described problem occurs when the photos are on a network drive mapped to Windows. Today I restarted DT and imported the files into the library from the network drive. I don't know why, but XMP files are not created for all files during import. XMP always appears for some files, never for others. I can't find the correctness. I'll test it again.
