[Ssc-dev] Phase 1 app.

[Shawn Van Every]

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for checking it out.

I am sorry for the issues with the files being at different versions.  Seems I am not using git quite right.  I'll correct that asap and you should be able to checkout a version that will run the EXIFWiper class on an existing image.

I agree that we may not need to remove everything.  I just put a list on the wiki, perhaps we can take a pass at what should stay and what should go.

Talk to you soon,

In pictures taken with the tool, most of the metadata wasn't there- I was wondering if that was because it wasn't never in there, or because you had to erase it? I don't see a call to erase the metadata.

Maybe just empty or user-edited are all that are practical, but we could offer something like "start at this date/time and increment by a random amount around 60 seconds each photograph" for continuous shooting or batch editing.
