    no bug EXIF from PNG not read

    Hello,

    I have been running in circles as I needed to copy EXIF information from one set of files to another that I batch compressed with this software. Finally found EXIF tool and EXIF GUI and once I got it going I noticed that I didn't need it.

    At first It thought that files I put out from a few Topaz Labs tools were not writing EXIF information into PNGs as that area is empty. However later I found there is data in the PNGs, I thought perhaps Iview wasn't transferring this information in batch conversion but when inspecting the information of the PNGs there is nothing displayed at all, leaving me to think it doesn't see the data. I checked both a PNG from Topaz and one that I injected the information via EXIF tool (which seems all those images as having that data) and both are showing without any EXIF information. Hopefully I can attach a file but even attached it's ~23MB, if not I'll try making something later.

    IrfanView only saves EXIF data in JPG images, so no bug, just a missing feature.

      I think you missunderstand me. I'm not trying to write EXIF info into a PNG, I was trying to save JPGs with EXIF information that are in PNGs, however Irfanview is not reading EXIF info from PNGs. Even removing the saving part, it is not showing that data.

      Now if you mean Ivew doesn't read EXIF from PNGs then, yeah, missing feature.
