The bug

I changed the template and used the migration wizard.
The library contained assets and sidecar files per asset.
the wizard moved only the assets but not the sidecar files. sidecare files (*.xmp) are still in the old folders. Now the assets lost their connection to sidecar files.

=> migration of asset location should also move related sidecar files to the new location

To avoid discussion about bug vs feature:
I think, it is bug, because assets should not lost the connection with their sidecar files, when a software is used for migration. At least a big warning should be in the GUI, that the connection could be lost, if the migration wizard is used. But there is only a Start button.
