Lightroom doesn't export EXIF information anymore

[konrad79]

I found out today, that since about October 2022 LR Classic doesn't export the EXIF information of all my photos anymore. Resulting in wrong "Date created" etc. in the metadata.

Is this a bug in Lightroom that comes in in October or does I accidentally changed an option on import or export?

Windows 11, latest LR Classic updates all the time

Check your export settings. Lightroom can strip metadata if you want it to, so it sounds you selected that option.

Thanks. Found the option. But didn't touch the export dialog for years - always exported with "With Previous" all the years. Does Adobe changed the option during update silently?

During an update something like that can always happen. Why don't you save the export as a preset? That is more reliable than using 'with previous' and hoping the previous export was indeed as you remember.
