[Feature] Extra network preview images should include metadata
Issue Description
This bug is also happening with a1111 as reported here: https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/issues/11163
using the "replace preview" button saves a version of the image with no embedded metadata. Using the image from the output directory or saving the image from the generation box will give you an image with the correct metadata.

correct. those images go through separate and simplified save process and do not have access to metadata at that time. it could be done, but i do not see it as desired as preview images are just that - previews.
however, i will allow for contributions if someone wants to prove me wrong - so i'm converting this into feature request. its definitely not an issue.
It's more useful to have the metadata used to generate preview images for a variety of reasons - comparing models, reference for style or quality modifiers, etc. They are self-documenting reference for "how to get good output from this model checkpoint".
additionally, as the author of the bug in the a1111 issue points out, it used to save the metadata when saving previews until sometime recently. I have 500+ models with preview images, most of which were saved using "replace preview" as that was the easier and quicker than manually copying and renaming them, and except for the ones created recently they all have metadata.
sure, that's all valid and i'm open to contributions. right now i don't see this anyime soon on my backlog.
