Add setting to remove private metadata (geo location and exif tags "user comment" and "subject location")
GPS data is concerning privacy, we should add a setting to remove it (beside exif tags "user comment" and "subject location")
Setting can have the options
- strip private metadata (GPS data and exif tags ... are removed before uploading)
- keep private metadata (metadata not modified before upload)
- ask (default) (if GPS data, user comment or subject location is available in the metadata)
I'd even like to see this setting gallery specific, as I have two gelleries, one for private use, where I'd like to have the GPS data always, and a public one where I'd like to be asked every time.
@EddyLB: how is it done on iOS?
edit: refined issue with description of what is considered private metadata
@ramack , the iOS app provides a way to strip GPS metadata before uploading images to a Piwigo server. This is one of the Default Upload Settings as shown in the attached screenshot.

and what is considered "private metadata" in the files? GPS coordinates clear, but anything else?
Yes, the app also removes the EXIF 'user comment' and 'subject location'.
