Also, isn't EXIF data stored as Extended File Attributes? All you
need is for one program or one file transfer process to fail to manage
that data correctly and the next thing you know, your images don't
*have* any EXIF data. :(
If I copy pictures from *my* camera to *my* computer (with "no" steps
in between), then the EXIF data will probably be there. But if
someone else emails images to to me, or I email them to myself, (via
which client or service?) or someone puts them on a USB stick (FAT
file system... does it matter?) and hands that to me or shares them
via Dropbox (the current, released, version does not support xattrs),
then... ?
I'm just agreeing with Yuval here, I guess. ;)

There are plenty of places where Hugin can be improved for all

I still think it is a mistake in terms of usability to assume that
the EXIF
data is there and is always valid. IIRC there has been at least one
case in
which one version of Windows would mess up the EXIF data of Nikon
cameras. It
does not take much to design things to be slightly more fault-
tolerant, and it
has its appeal as the latest Autpoano Pro vs. Hugin screenshot show.
