I also have tested with other kind of image with exif (from a Iphone) == same issue


i have tested to make a modificaiton with a other software ( gthumb) == no issue, exif information remain.


The output of XnViewMP command line seem's to not give information about any issue :

If i remove my xnview.ini, it's will not losse exif tag
but i have check all options in the GUI of XnviewMP and don't find what can be the cause of loosing exif ( i have never touch manualy the file)


I can't attach the xnview.ini as it's not authorized
i have put it here :

http://roumano.com/temp/xnview.ini.ko

I can't reproduce, please send me the jpeg file too?

Hi,

Have you try with my xnview.ini configuration file ?

The problem is in your .ini, please check in view mode File>Format settings>Keep EXIF

Hi,
Ok tkx
i found what was cause my issue :
Since very long time, in xnviewmp, i use "only" save, move or copy,
so never export ( the only way, we can change jpeg compression options ),( it's was not trival to find how to configure this ....)
last week, i have use the "Batch Convert" to prepare few pictures for the web (so removing the metadata to reduce the size & for privacy)
It's was unexpected for me, a Bath Convert will change my default parameter & loss important data (metadata are import for me)
Regards
