Yep, good comment — images lose EXIF (dates, GPS, camera info) during compression since the image library strips it by default. Videos keep their metadata. Live Photo pairing isn't preserved either. It's a known tradeoff I want to add a toggle for.
Speaking of — would love your feedback directly, happy to give you full access for free if you want to test it out!
the local-first approach is the right call for anything handling personal media. the EXIF toggle would be a meaningful addition especially for photo libraries where capture date and location are the whole point of the file. curious whether you plan to let users choose per-format or as a global setting across a batch.
