LC9.6 Android EXIF image data issue

[Alan Stenhouse]

Thanks Mark and Monte for the info.

Had already stopped using the width/height specs and for photos from the library we had been getting EXIF info and still do in many cases (I think - more testing needed!), but as we can't do anything about what the OS gives us, I'll just slightly change the message for the user to inform them.

Thanks again, cheers
