Just for the record (and I know I'm late), there is:

http://www.jpeg.org/jpeg/jpegls.html

Not that that's widely used ;-).

It is not that the EXIF header is missing, it just somewhat incompatible
with _most_ programs around. Only `gimp' and `exiftool' seem to be able to
read it.

For example:

$ exifread MDBonsai_4099.jpg
   filename=MDBonsai_4099.jpg
End of file found prematurely.

I just checked the build logs for more recent Suse versions and ufraw does 
definitely have exif support.

I always compile gimp myself to be sure I get everything I want in it.
It's almost the only opensuse program I do that with.  And yes, I did
find that the exif data were there after saving to jpg; the problem must
be with the pbase site.  What confused me and made me think it was gimp
was that it started immediately after compiling/installing gimp 2.4.7.
Just an unlucky coincidence I suppose.

Are you all following a red herring?  I think Jim said, in his response to my 
email, that the EXIF data always exists after the JPEG has been saved from the 
GIMP.

Easy enough to copy the plug-in binary from a compatible distribution
that compiles GIMP with Exif support enabled.

If they can't be persuaded, Jim might want to look into jhead's -te
option, which copies exif from one file to another, so you can "put
back" exif that's been stripped.

the opensuse team that is maintaining gimp/ufraw does not believe that
exif data is important to the project and do not include support for
exif.  I questioned stbinner at suse dot de several years ago (iirc)
and was imformed.  Perhaps several questions/comments from different

I am assuming that my memory is not failing and you do/did use opensuse?

I couldn't find metacam anywhere, but a search through freshmeat.net
showed the program jhead.  Jhead did indeed find the exif data in the
photo that did NOT display exif data in my album.  Since the timing on
this issue coincided exactly with compiling and installing gimp 2.4.6, I
assumed too quickly that a bug had been introduced. That is not the
case.  Apparently the gallery program has changed in some way that
requires a different setting on saving jpegs.

Sorry for the confusion cause and thanks for your help.

Is the EXIF data not visible in the first case with a tool designed 
specifically 
for that purpose, such as metacam?

OK, I'm processing Nikon D200 NEF (RAW) photos with gimp and ufraw.
ufraw shows the exif data properly.

When I edit the photo in gimp and go to save with the standard settings,
the exif data do not show up on my pbase website.  This is a new
behavior as exif data have always shown up before.

I looked at the help on the pbase site and it said most of the problems
saving exif data come from high compression.

So, I re-edited a photo and saved it. On the the "Save as JPEG" screen
"Save EXEF data" was checked.

On the "Subsampling:" drop box, I selected "1x1,1x1,1x1 (best quality).

Then I saved and the exif data showed on my pbase photo.

I was mistaken that I changed the compression.  It was still at 85.

Hope this helps,

Jim

There is no such thing as a jpg with no compression, so it is pretty
much impossible to make sense of what you are saying.  It would
be helpful if you would describe the actions you took and the
error messages you received in a more concrete way.  What were
the settings you used when saving as jpg?  What were the messages
that told you whether or not exif data is present?
