Your photos might include information of the exact location and time of the photo taken, your photo/camera models etc. Companies, governments, or someone with bad intentions can use such information for their benefits against you. This can easily be accessed by AI as well.

On Windows 11:

  1. Right-click on the file
  2. Properties
  3. Details
  4. Remove properties and personal information

Lots of people don’t care, but I guess this could be useful for some of you.

    Can it be made into a Cinnamon extension or even a tool with which I would run it for all new image files while idle (if needed)?

      I’m sure it can. I found several tutorials on how to add it to Dolphin’s right click context menu, I just haven’t taken the time to do it.
