[Kde-imaging] Exif data

[Neil Winchurst]

Hi there,

in a recent email this appeared.


Second points, is about metadata an pictures format : not all file formats 
support metadata ! Exif (the most important format used in photography) is 
supported by TIFF, JPEG, and PNG only, but not by TGA, BMP, JPEG2000, EXR, 
GIMP, etc.

Well when I change my photo files in Digikam from JPG to PNG I lose all the exif data. If I leave the files as JPG then the exif data is kept. So why don't my png files keep the data as mentioned above?
