Wouldn't the activation of the Option "Automatically write changes into XMP" in the Lightroom Catalog Settings make the workflows easier?
No! Please don't activate that! It might cause a lot of trouble, sometimes subtile and hard to find the cause for, when used with the LRTimelapse/Lightroom workflow.
The LRTimelapse workflows rely on LRTimelapse initializing the XMP data properly and keeping it consistent. If Lighroom eventually writes things on it's own the experiences show that this messes things up. So please, always leave this option off and follow the Workflow, you will quilckly get used to Read-/Write Metadata when it's needed, this makes the whole behavior much more predictable.
