#metadata

Actually I thought that friendica strips by default all metadata when pictures are uploaded, something that #Diaspora* (apparently) does. I guess that's where my assumption came from. Has their been any discussion and/or decision on that?
Is here some addon that provides this?

I checked this because I'm diving into #exiftool and it's nice to be able to print copyright (CC-SA-NC), or things like "Artist", "Description or "Comment" to pictures and videos.

What I did find was in settings the opt-in option to publicly display the location metadata of pictures, yet what really would be neat is to be able differenciate these things. In other words, to strip the location data but retain other data like specifically added data.

As example two images I uploaded with similar metadata, one on diaspora:
pod.geraspora.de/uploads/image…
(this was actually a .png so diaspora changed the container)
and the friendica upload:
tupambae.org/photo/71953797316…

To see in linux (debian) what metadata shows up:
apt-get install exiftool

To display the metadata:
exiftool -v filename.png
The -v in the command is optional and means "verbose", that means it displays more data than a simple:
exiftool filename.png
