[Digikam-users] export to facebook - partial exif information

[Simon Oosthoek]

Hi

I'm thinking of using facebook to show some of my pictures, but I'd like 
to remove all unecessary exit tags to prevent leaking personal 
information onto the web. Some exif information is useful to keep, such 
as ISO, aperture, shutterspeed, focal length, but most other 
information, like specifics about which camera, lens, time/date, 
gps-location (if I'd have that) should not be exported.

normally I'd use imagemagick's mogrify -strip <img> to remove all tags, 
but I thought it would be a useful addition to the facebook upload tool 
from kipi-plugins to be able to select which exif information will be 
kept in the exported image.

I imagine a dialogue with all the exif tags present in the selected 
images, toggle all on/off/invert and select a few tags to export. 
Perhaps some presets (with checkboxes) could be defined like
- basic photographic information (iso,focal,aperture,shutter,flash)
- copyright information (copyright owner/date/license)
- extended photographic information (camera+lens type/brand)
- tags and other metadata

I suppose I should actually make this a wish...

Cheers

Simon
