Works quite well, but destroys all of the Exif metadata in the image

The title says it all: the algorithm is well designed and, for simple regions over a repetitive background, works perfectly; works in an acceptable way for difficult regions. What I cannot accept, is that *ALL* the Exif metadata in my picture (I care in a particular way about camera maker and model, lens, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, exposure settings, and GPS data) are erased after having run Inpaint6 over the JPG file. I had to save the original Exif metadata with exiftool, and restore them later.

Sadly, I have told about this problem to the developer years ago, when I bought Inpaint 5 (that had the same behavior); he requested the JPG files before and after the run, and a complete readable dump of my Exif. Well, nothing happened; the least to be said is that the developer does not care about users feedback.
