autoOrient strips profiles

[FranBran]

When using autoOrient all profile-data is being stripped.

gm(path).autoOrient().options({ imageMagick : true }).write(path, function(err) {});

Is this a bug, or how can one prevent profiles (e.g. exif-data) from being lost?

From the GraphicsMagick Documentation: "GraphicsMagick does not include an EXIF editor"

Since GraphicsMagick doesn't support this you'll have to find another way to write EXIF data.

And what about when using gm with imagemagick ? I can see that it's also running with -strip argument.

There is PR #482, but is not yet closed.

In the mean time I'm doing this work around const imageMagick = gm.subClass({imageMagick: true}) imageMagick(file_path) // .autoOrient() // waiting for this PM to be resolved https://github.com/aheckmann/gm/pull/482 .in('-auto-orient') .write(file_path, function(err) {});
