Agree with Nomad that metadata copying should be customisable, and with Markku, that it should be done within the hugin tools, in a way that supports hugin functions first. However both of those sound to me like big projects. I guess I'll take Yuv's advice and just stuff an updated option patch into the Hg trunk, that will affect only the application of exiftool to to the final pano, not to intermediate files. And I'll put in a hook, at least, to allow customizing the exiftool command, if that appears feasible.
