Control: tag -1 + patch Control: severity -1 important Justification: loss of exif metadata. A photographer would say "grave severity"!

I agree, this is a nasty issue that will compromise Debian's reputation for reliability and a reassuring policy of no data-loss bugs in stable releases. IMHO this bug is RC, but strictly speaking metadata isn't data, which is why I chose "important"...nevertheless, no one should be punished for viewing a photo in Gwenview rather than Darktable! The emergency quick fix is here: https://invent.kde.org/graphics/gwenview/-/commit/7e59f65fb1f14c36fcf12683c6eacb5f658dc3fc from the PR: https://invent.kde.org/graphics/gwenview/-/merge_requests/57 Cheers, Nicholas
