EXIF information is specific to JPEG files. Therefore, editing and
storing EXIF information make sense with JPEG images only. Sure, you
could try to save/hide/convert it in other image formats, but this is
not the purpose of the EXIF specification.

I'll try to come up with something and ask again together with a patch.
