Option to Preserve EXIF Metadata During Compression

[KleoPadre]

Currently CompressO removes all EXIF metadata from files during compression. For many workflows it is important to retain metadata such as camera information, timestamps, GPS coordinates, and other embedded tags.

Requesting an enhancement to add an option to preserve EXIF metadata. Possible implementation approaches include:

• Adding a user-selectable setting (e.g., “Preserve EXIF metadata”) that, when enabled, copies all EXIF and other metadata from the original file into the compressed output.
• Ensuring this option works consistently across supported formats.

This feature would allow users to compress images/videos without losing important embedded metadata.

Sounds good. I'll convert this ticket to discussion to track as the enhancement. Thanks!
