RawTherapee 5.4 strips Metadata like GPS, IPTC

Thanks for the clarification.

But I was just asking something. And yes I know, it’s a ‘free’ software product. I’m not a programmer, but I can contribute to this kind of projects by inputting things like bugs, enhancements, etc.
In fact, I was even asked to input those things. Like RAW files for WB adjustments for a Nikon D800E, and in this case, some metadata issues with RAW → TIFF processing.

If you perceived my comments as an ‘annoyed customer’; sorry for that, but it wasn’t/isn’t.
Because I’m not a s/w guy I can only contribute by sharing experiences during my quest of RAW file processing…:wink:
And yes, a step like manual adding GPS/IPTC metadata with another free tool like ExifTool (+ GUI) is also possible. But adds another imho unnecessary hurdle.
So a piece of software, like RT, which incorporates this, or in my opinion should not omit it, would benefit from this kind of features.
And although not crucial; all small enhancements contribute to overall user satisfaction.

But, maybe I’m wrong…:thinking: I don’t hope even this reply would be considered ‘aggressive’?

You put a smile on my face! Thanks.
Even with paid software (like Adobe products I pay for each month), they don’t solve many bug reports…
