Title:
  hardcoded exiftool parameters

Status in Hugin - Panorama Tools GUI:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The current version of Hugin invokes exiftool with the following
  hardcoded parameters (see also 696636):

  exiftool -E -overwrite_original_in_place -TagsFromFile source.jpg
  -ImageDescription -Make -Model -Artist -WhitePoint -Copyright -GPS:all
  -DateTimeOriginal -CreateDate -UserComment -ColorSpace -OwnerName
  -SerialNumber -Software="Hugin version" -UserComment="projection info"
  -f panorama.jpg

  The problem with this is it does not specify the tag group (e.g. EXIF
  or XMP) which may lead to unpredictable results, especially for photo
  which have been pre-processed before stiching.

  A better solution would be to allow the user to specify the exiftool
  parameters using a Preferences panel, as is currently used for Control
  Point Detectors.  This would also allow users to customize what
  metadata they want to copy from the original photos (e.g. MakerNotes)
  and specify metadata (e.g. Copyright).
