Not sure if this is support or suggestion

I have raw files containing copyright info in exif, which I process to jpg using something else. Exif is intact, now has more crap about software used etc.

I use XnV ctrl-u scripts to shrink/watermark images for posting. I set it to strip exif cuz there's too much crap in there.

Is there a way for XnV NOT to strip the author/copyright lines in exif?
OR
Is there a way for XnV to write IPTC author/copyright info?

I've found stuff that have run thru PS get the author/copyright copied to IPTC, which survives thru the script in XnV. But I don't run all thru PS, so I'd like some XnV solution too.
