Metadata like lens information and exposure information CAN be copied if
it remains the same accross all pictures (this is likely to be case, in
a well-shot panorama). Same goes for other metadata like rating and
label.

So please reconsider.

Metadata that would be correct in, say, 80% of cases is better than no
metadata ever.

Title:
  Not all metadata copied

Status in Hugin:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  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.
