Research direction

Start by locating the image-saving path used when saving search results and inspect how EXIF metadata is handled. Confirm the desired behavior against the report: saved images should retain their metadata so they can be moved in the Photos app without losing EXIF data.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I thought saving the images would make a duplicate of the image and its metadata but it appears to have been stripped away. Is this intentional? I much prefer it don't do that because I use the app to "move" old photos to the "front" of the Photos app by saving the search results expecting that it includes EXIF data.
