Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yes, it solves the problem that you're unable to delete exif data from images which are stored on the SD card, currently you're forced to move them to the internal storage to delete the exif data from them, when they're on the SD card you only can view the exif data.

Describe the solution you'd like
The option to delete exif data for files stored on the SD card as files in the internal storage has.

Additions:
I think this option is unavaible since the Gallery app never asks for the permission to modify, etc. files on the external storage which causes this issue.

Android 11+ All Files Access should give the app the necessary permissions to do that. There are closed source apps that edit EXIF and file mtime values on the removable SD card by way of that permission. But older versions of Android can't do this at all without root and that legacy may be why this app doesn't offer it (yet?).

I'm using a Samsung device with Android 14 and the app has this permission, it should be able to do so.

I confirm the option to remove EXIF is missing from the Info window when viewing a file on a removable SD card on an Xperia 1 V with Android 14 and All Files Access granted.

This is absolutely possible to do on Android. A file here is finally now the same as a file there or over there. I suspect a design decision was made to disable the feature on SD cards years ago before All Files Access was a thing (of course it won't work without that permission).
