Describe the bug
VRChat added metadata to pictures, and I've observed that this caused VRCX to stop adding metadata to photos via the Screenshot helper.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Have the Screenshot helper enabled, specifically "Store world ID, world name and players inside the instance inside the file metadata of any pictures you take in-game."
  2. Open up the "Screenshot Metadata" screen (Gear Icon, Pictures)
  3. Throw a picture taken after 2025-08-07 into the window
  4. See error: "Failed to parse VRCPrint metadata."

Expected behavior
I'd like to see both kinds of meta data in my pictures. But I would understand if just the VRC metadata is shown

What version you are running
Version 2025.06.30

I am attaching a zip file with two images, the first has meta data care of vrcx, and the later image has meta data from vrchat
