When I use Advance Renamer 3.88, it is removing the Exif information from the Date Taken Field, GPS Location, GPS Accuracy and probably others..

It is completely blanking it out.

Is there a way to preserve this information so it doesn't remove it upon renaming?

This sounds unlikely since Advanced Renamer only has read access to ExifTool. I can't replicate this issue - renaming image files does not affect Exif tags. Try checking the metadata of renamed files using the standalone version of ExifTool.

The program will not remove any metadata from the file when performing renaming batches. It only changes the name of the file, not the content of the file itself.
