Show metadata on exported photos - e.g GPS location, date and time stamp

Hi, I'm looking for a way to show a date and time stamp and GPS location on an exported jpg. So that when someone views the photo, they can immediately see this without having to look for photo details or information.
Is there a way of doing this as a watermark, or with some sort of plugin?
Thanks folks.

You can do this when you PRINT TO FILE in the PRINT module. GPS is exposed and can be added to the printed file. Note, that the image is slightly shrunk to accommodate the text.

Thanks, I was just trying that. Thank you.
When I hit "Print to file" it asks where to save - which is fine
Then once saved, it's in the folder I asked to be sent to, but the file name has changed to "foldername-1" and all photos numbered sequentially.
How do I get it to save with the original file name?

It doesn't look like you can set create a file name when you PRINT TO FILE and must create your own file name. You may want check for an EXPORT plug-in.

Thanks. I was hoping to be able do sets of photos in batches - which printing does do, but need the file names to remain unchanged.

I just remembered another non-LrC option is an external program like EXIF wMarker.

Thank you - that does just what I need. Just needs to become a plug in for LR and it could become an easy step in the work flow.
Cheers.

Apparently, there's a bug in LR 13.0.1 that has stopped a few plugins working, including Mogrify.

Normally my first recommendation here would be the LrMogrify plugin.

From what I've seen on the Adobe forums, it's a wider issue.

Yeah, it appears to affect plugins that add "post-process actions" to the export settings. It's a good thing that it appears to be a bug affecting several plugins, since it's more likely Adobe will make it a priority, and since the LR/Mogrify author hasn't been very responsive in the last many years.
