The plugin does what it says on the tin, and that’s good. It may however be doing
it too well: it also strips the transparency channel of PNGs. I just disabled it
to upload a bunch of PNGs, and that was a functional one-off workaround. This may
get in the way when you have more of a distribution of transparent PNGs and EXIF-
ladden JPGs to upload regularly, though.

Been searching on how to remove the guff from Olympus photos and i came up against
a patch to WP that had never been implemented (i think) and a lot of comments surrounding
it. Will post the link in there to here. Nice work. Hopefully it never needs updating.
You have to upload your photos through a page/post or as i discovered it also works
when adding a product (woocommerce) too. You can bulk upload everything through 
these methods and it strips the exif data. Thank you so much!
