Public bug reported:

Not all metadata is properly copied from the first image (or middle, or
average, or whatever).

Namely the fields that describe the lens, ISO rating, metering mode,
flash, exposure program, exposure comp, country code, country, province,
city, location, label, rating, keywords, copyright.

That's as far as I could find. I suspect a couple more fields are
missing, but I haven't tested all of them. I suppose this is enough of
an indication that, although the "copy metadata" checkbox in Preferences
is ticked, it 'forgets' to copy a boatload of fields.

Some metadata is copied though, like author, camera, gps, but nothing
more as fas as I can tell quickly enough.

I can see there's two more boxes in Preferences for "argfiles", but I
have no idea what I should put there, and I have no way of knowing what
it expects me to do there. Or if it's going to help me in the first
place. At any rate, I would say just simply copy ALL metadata. If it's
using exiftool, copying ALL metadata should be a lot easier than copying
an arbitrary set.

In the mean time, is there a trivial workaround that we can apply?

This is Hugin 2015.0.0 on Windows 10 x64.
