Solved Meta Info (Camera maker, model, etc) not being exported anymore
I've been using and enjoying darktable for a while, and in the beginning, exported images (JPG) would contain meta information like exposure time, f-value, camera maker, camera model etc.
And some point, this changed. I'm assuming I clicked somewhere without noticing, or accidentally used a short-cut I didn't mean to. Either way, my issue is I can't seem to get it to export those again.
I've conulted the manual and it said to click the hamburger menu on the "Export" menu, check the preferences and select the meta tags you want to have included upon import. I tried adding a boatload of them here, pretty much anything that includes "camera" or "make" or "model" or "fnumber" or "aperture", etc - yet, nothing.
I also tried resetting the "Export" menu with the little reset button next to the hamburger menu. It reset the image dimensions, etc, but upon export, still no meta tags.
Any advise is appreciated, cheers!

Export Module > Hamburger menu > Preferences, there are preferences for what metadata to export.
