Description

Hello, I'm not sure if this has been reported before and it's my first time reporting a program issue/bug, please let me know if I'm missing anything and/or if more info is needed, I tried following the template I was given here.

System information:
  • Windows OS version: Windows 10 Education 19043
  • ImageGlass version: 8.2.6.6
To Reproduce
  1. Open any picture with EXIF info in ImageGlass.
  2. Open a configured editor with E key, or crop them from ImageGlass with C key.
  3. Save changes.
  4. Check picture properties under the [Details] tab.
Actual behavior:

Whenever I edit a picture from ImageGlass or any editor I open from ImageGlass, the picture may lose its EXIF info.
It seems to happen at random (most of the time), I edited a picture with GIMP 2.10.24 recently (opened from ImageGlass and with GIMP already set to save EXIF info when exporting) and the information wasn't lost.
I have no idea when it started happening but I noticed that just today when glancing at some pictures' properties after I edited them to check on capture timestamps.

Also, I tested a few times by editing copies of a picture (one with GIMP and another with Paint, both opened from Windows context menu options in the stock file explorer), the information wasn't deleted (plus I surveyed the program settings and menus but found no closely related settings to my issue), which led me to believe it could be a bug from ImageGlass itself.

Expected behavior:

The EXIF info should never disappear after editing any picture from ImageGlass.

Screenshots:

I believe this should suffice, it's a quick comparison on the camera info for all four copies I've made of a picture I took, the filenames show where they were edited and which one is the original:
explorer,Propiedades_IMG_20200115_081057_-_original jpg_2021-07-23_18-07-30-702
What I did on each copy is merely slightly crop them.
