Here is something I saved:

This is an old thread but I just joined this newsgroup.  There is a
great little program by Matthias Wandel called jhead (see
http://www.sentex.net/~mwandel/jhead/).  This program, in addition to
displaying the EXIF-headers, can also be used to run any conversion
program/editor to an image and it copies the EXIF-data from the old
image to the edited one.

Then you can combine jhead + gimp/jpegtran/whatever into the "external
editors" section of the gqview options-dialog.  The result is that
while viewing your photos with gqview you can rotate and edit your
camera pictures with a few clicks and retain the EXIF-data!
