I only see a couple.  Flickr and 23hq, yet the checkbox doesn't seem to
do anything.  After tracking down the code, I see it reads the checkbox
value for stripping metadata into a private bool variable called
copy_metadata, which it then doesn't do anything with.  Please show me
if I am missing something.

Can anyone point me directly to code that is stripping exif data or
outline the general idea of how it should be done?
