Keep EXIF Data on JPEG? #24

Closed edent closed 11 years ago

edent commented 11 years ago

Is it possible to optimise a jpg while keeping its metadata (location, camera type, etc)?

Not within Trimage, which is explicitly for optimising images for websites. Please use the command line applications themselves for that.

In that case I think it should really have a prominent warning. No one installing "A cross-platform tool for losslessly optimizing PNG and JPG files" would expect it to throw out all the metadata (especially if they know that jpegoptim preserves the exif and comment data by default).

It would be very nice to have a preferences dialog so the user could modify the options :)

Exactly. And it overwrites original files. I was amazed how easy is this piece of software to use then realised "Oh frak, all my image info gone".
