System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.22000-SP0 64 Bits
Graphics card: NVIDIA RTX A4500/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 512.15

Blender Version
Broken: version: 3.5.0, branch: blender-v3.5-release, commit date: 2023-03-29 02:56, hash: 1be25cfff18b
Worked: unaware

Short description of error
Files output from the File Output compositor node do not contain the metadata specified in the Output Properties

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Create any scene
Ensure the output properties have some metadata selections (the default ones are fine) and set the output format to JPG.
Add a file output node to the compositor that saves the file (using "use node format" option)
Render the scene with Cycles
Manually save the rendered output image (use a different name to that used in the File Output node)

The result is two JPGs, one output from the File Output node and one saved manually.
The one saved manually contains all the correct metadata. The one saved using the file output node contains none.

I rely on the metadata in JPGs to track back to the blend file that created it. This enables me to keep track of lots of output that I generate and go back to the blend if needs be to tweak the output.

I also cannot understand why TIF files do not have blender metadata written to them - I actually use TIF files by default and have to manually save a JPG annex file with the same name just to get the metadata!. If it is possible to raise this as a request, could you let me know how?
