Description Gerwin 2007-08-10 17:16:36 UTC
Version:           0.92 (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

Heho,

As i'm really happy with my privacy (not because I hide something... just). I would like to see that it's possible to (automaticly) remove the serial number from the EXIF data. I did searched a lot but could not find an option to do it in Digikam. If you need more input I'm happy to give!

Greets,
Gerwin

Hi, 
You can remove ALL Exif metadata from the image using this menu item.
Image > Metadata > Remove Exif

You can selectively remove/edit some metadata using..
Image > Metadata > Edit Exif   (but not the file number)

If you are trying to remove just certain types of metadata such as "File Number" or "Image Number" try using the  command line tools exiv2 or exiftool. Make sure to backup, run some tests and read the man page first.

An example with my canon camera:
exiv2 -M"del Exif.Canon.ImageNumber" test.JPG 
or
exiftool -filenumber='1' test2.JPG  (this sets file number to #1)

Geoff (note I'm not a developer, just trying to help out)

This will be a job for Batch Queue Manager.

It would be extremely helpful to add an option to remove all EXIF data before mailing or exporting images

Gerwin,

If i introduce a new tool in BQM to remove whole Exif |/& IPTC |/& XMP metadata, this will be fine for you ?
