Scrub EXIF data from images

Wilfred opened this issue · comments

I would like to have the OPTION of having images scrubbed. Sometimes, the geolocation data is what's actually important. Simple example would be someone taking photos of gulag prison camps in NK. Having the exact location would be extremely helpful

Yeah, might be nice to allow the data to remain, but it seems like it'd be a good idea to have the default be to remove the data. I'll look into what android puts in the EXIF data and see what can be done.

Location Data might be usefull. Maybe the best is to try and delete all data that could link back to the device taking the picture.

We're half the way there thanks to @zawarudo's pull request, once we add a preferences system we'll allow people to also scrub GPS.
