I'm a end user, and this is very important functionality for people
who are professional users; they would like to keep the information that
when did they take the picture, what is the camera shutter, etc.

Since I can not write the codes; I'm a Linux user; gimp is the only
and the best image editor in linux, I would like to know if any
developer is interested
in adding this functionality which is important for professional users.

Thank you
