Description:
# KDE - Dolphin - Remove Metadata

## Protect your privacy

This adds a right click entry in Dolphin to remove all metadata / EXIF data from image files. This data can store information such as the photos GPS location and file servers it has been stored on.
* Works with single and multiple images.
* Easy to install
* Protects your privacy when sharing photos online.
(You probably don't want to do this to all your photos as that data is useful for organizing them)


## Install


### Prerequisites

Requires [ExifTool](https://exiftool.org/) to be installed, for example:

**Fedora**
- `sudo dnf install perl-Image-ExifTool`

**Ubuntu**
- `sudo apt install libimage-exiftool-perl`

**Arch / Manjaro**
- `sudo pacman -S perl-image-exiftool`

### Automatic Install

Install via Dolphin:

Dolphin -> Settings -> Configure Dolphin -> Context Menu -> Download New
Services -> Search for "Remove Metadata" -> Install "Remove Metadata" by merrittkr

### Manual Install

- Download the `removeMetadata.desktop` file
- Copy it to `~/.local/share/kio/servicemenus/`
- Restart Dolphin


## How to use

!!! There is no confirmation dialog, the metadata is removed immediately !!!

Last changelog:

v1.5.0

* Added confirmation dialog by @fluks

10 top! very helpful

10 Works on Fedora, if you're not on Ubuntu/Debian, Arch or Manjaro you have to visit "https://exiftool.org/install.html#Unix" then follow the steps there. Do not forget to download dependencies first (perl, make etc.) and it will work - other than that great servicemenu-entry, simple and small but really useful and effective! 10/10
