Ask about the specifics, I’ll try to get you the answer.

Thank you, Andrew, but each of those links send you right back to ADOBE Help. I've read the Adobe pages 2-3 times, and I still scratch my head. I'm not the only photographer on the internet complaining about this, so I know I'm not alone. Why does this crap have to be so complicated?

I don't use the catalogue, so maybe i can export metadata from a DNG?

Why not make a Virtual Copy of the DNG (before deleting, something I do NOT recommend).

You might try:

Can you recover the deleted DNG files, or too late?

In future or with any you can recover just select the DNG and Raw and Synch the settings. 

In future as you edit the DNG have the Raw selected at the same time and turn on Autosynch

I can't see a way to batch all pairs to do them in one sitting.

You understand my pain... ! thanks for responding!
By mistake i thought that the NEF also got a XML sidecar with the edits: Because I also use Fast Raw Vieuwer and now it turned out to be the XML-sidecar from that program...
That is why I did not discover this problem earlier. I think it is a major mistake from ADOBE not to change the Raw-sidecar at the same time with the DNG or any way ; give the choice to do so...

Yes,  i can go down my backups of the last half year or more and restore everything! but that will take me days.

My solution now in the future is first do the editing in the Raw first and then enhance the Raw to DNG - unlike Adobe advices me to do.

For many years I relied on Michael Reichmann's and Jeff Schewe's detailed explanations of Photoshop Preferences for photography. Today, I don't know where to go for the CC version. It's a piece meal mess. Adobe continues to do a terrible job explaining them. My brain is about to explode. Does anyone know of a reliable source, where Photoshop's Preferences for photographers are explained in detail? Thank you.
