gm-commands silently drops EXIF-data

[Morten Siebuhr]

Binary package hint: graphicsmagick

When converting images using graphicsmagick, it silently drops the included EXIF-metadata:

> gm mogrify * -resize '1024x1024'
> jhead large.jpg
File name : large.jpg
File size : 8238709 bytes
File date : 2010:02:18 08:59:47
Resolution : 22500 x 4500

I have tried to mock around with '-profile "*"', '+profile "*"' &c., but to no avail.

(Workaround - install ImageMagick and use the 'mogrify'-command.)
