XnViewMP 1.5.0 64bit
Windows11 (22H2), display resolution 3840x2160, win scaling 150%
Viewer - saving TIFF
app always adds EXIF Software on saving
To reproduce:
1. open any TIFF
2. press CTRL+S to save file
EXIF will have new Software metadata
Expected behaviour
It would be nice to not have this because it also adds after Cleaning metadata in Viewer, that is not acceptable.
1.5.0 - viewer - save - TIFF - always adds EXIF Software metadata

The only way to clean metadata from TIFF is either via Viewer or Batch convert, in both ways there will be added extra Software tag.user0 wrote: Fri Jul 14, 2023 8:36 am because it also adds after Cleaning metadata in Viewer, that is not acceptable.
Cleaning metadata, means no metadata shall be left, period. Its pure privacy issue.
So, something shall be changed:
- clean metadata routine OR
- saving routine
