Should latest release retain EXIF data when using the max resize function/feature?

I realize this is not maintained any more so I am trying to trouble-shoot.  I just wanted to know if it should be working or if it hasn't been integrated yet.  I am simply trying to resize image against a file using the max image size approach( e.g. this.ng2ImgMax.resizeImage(theFile, maxWidth, maxHeight) )  Should the object I get back retain the exif data using this function?

Thanks
