Description Nikos Kanellopoulos 2003-05-06 20:22:59 UTC 
Most digital cameras store exposure settings, dates and other data 
in a special header for the jpeg format (called exif). Any decoder/viewer  
I know of  has no problem showing these images. 
 
When such a file is manipulated with the Gimp and saved, the exif 
header is lost. Typical example: rotate a picture 90 degrees and save. 
 
Also, it would be nice for Gimp to be able to show the information 
stored in the exif header.
