JPEG EXIF data gets deleted

Hi all,

If a JPEG image with EXIF data (extra info from digital camera's) is loaded into the GIMP, very simply altered, and saved again, it has lost the EXIF data.

Can this be fixed? Is there a workaround or patch available? Can EXIF data support for JPEG be added in the source to the plugins/common/jpeg GIMP_PARASITE_... by one of the GIMP developers

Thanks and a happy new year,

Pander

There have been a number of discussions about this in the past, and it is still on the intended feature list for 1.4 as far as I know. Some of the relevant threads are here -
