gpth doesn't re-insert data from jsons to exif

Hi, first let me thank you for your dedication and sharing this tool to the world!
I performed a test by manually removing some tags from the file even if the information was already in the json file and it did not did copy everything.
Example:
Step 1) Right click on image -> Properties -> Details -> Remove Properties and Personal Information -> deleted "Date Taken", "GPS information", Title, "subject"
Step 2) ran the gpth-windoza.exe with admin rights
Step 3) target photo only changed the "Last Modified Date" is now same date as in the JSON "photoTakenTime" tag.
But it is Missing: "Date Taken", "GPS" information (Lat, Long, Alt), Title and Description tags could also be copied. This information is present on the JSON file but was not on the original file metadata as part of my test, and my expectation was that (at least) the GPS information would been enriched by your program.
Additionally, shouldnt it also change the "Date Created" tag? or is that not accessible to overwrite?
Is it something that could be easily done as you already have the framework to do it?
Thanks for all the good work :)
Hi! Nice of you to help with testing!
I tried times and times to find nice exif library/solution for Dart, but it seems very difficult, so gpth currently doesn't modify image metadata at all
