>> My settings regarding metadata are :
>>
>> Rotate preview images according exif information
>> Set exif information to normal after rotation
>> Save image tags as "Keywords" tags embedded in metadata in files
>> Save image captions in metadata in files
>> Save image timestamp in metadata in files.
