what happened to .xmp files?

I have noticed recently that my Bridge program (cs4) has not been automatically exporting .xmp files into the folder where I store my images. I have been doing a lot of reading, but still can’t seem to find a solid answer as far as what to do.

I have figured out how to export .xmp files into another folder, but what’s the point of that? I want the metadata for my images to stay with my images. When I move them from folder to folder using Bridge, the xmp files used to move also, so I never lost my metadata.

I also empty my cache fairly often. I noticed that Bridge was no longer exporting xmp files when I emptied my cache and ALL my metadata that I had added to my images was gone, just like that.

I am a photographer and need that information to go somewhere permanent automatically, not in the cache which is supposed to store temporary file information.

 

Anyone have any idea?

Thanks so much!
