I think the culprit is src/tracker-extract/tracker-extract-imagemagick.c:

#ifdef HAVE_EXEMPI

        gchar *xmp;

        argv[0] = g_strdup ("convert");
        argv[1] = g_strdup (filename);
        argv[2] = g_strdup ("xmp:-");
        argv[3] = NULL;

        if (tracker_spawn (argv, 10, &xmp, &exit_status)) {
                if (exit_status == EXIT_SUCCESS && xmp) {
                        tracker_read_xmp (xmp, strlen (xmp), metadata);
                }
        }
#endif
}


TrackerExtractorData data[] = {
        { "image/*", tracker_extract_imagemagick },
        { NULL, NULL }
};


This creates the xmp:- files in ~ over and over again for each type of image.

Cheers,
Michael
