File relations questions

I need to look more deeply into file relationships.
For this I have created a test database with selected photos.
To test the file relations I have made my settings in the Preferences -> File Relations (see attachment "file relations.definitions.jpg".

After running the command "Refresh Relations", I see thump nails of images (.nef and .jpg) in the file window without an icon indicating master or version (see attachment "file window.jpg").

I ran a rescan of the directory with all options.

The Var Toy shows the relationship (see attachment "Var Toy.jpg").

What am I doing wrong?

That's a buddy file. The jpg will go along with the nef if you move/rename it.

Its NOT a master or a version; check the rules for those further down and what those rules do(eg metadata propagation).

Yes, David is correct.
Buddy Files are not the same like versions.
Best wishes from Switzerland! :-)

I recommend to start with Relation Concepts before setting up buddy files or versions.
