Hello. After exporting edited photo Pixelmator overwrites creation date.

I want to keep original creation date of my photos. How could I do that?

Thank you.

Since exporting a project from Pixelmator for iOS creates an entirely new image file, I'm afraid keeping the metadata of the original photo isn't possible. For that, I'd suggest using our nondestructive photo editor, Pixelmator Photo.

Got it, thank you.

So, for Pixelmator for iOS, edition of current file without creating a new one will not be possible ever, right?

If so, could it be possible to create an auto copy of old metadata to a new file during its creation?
