            Bug ID: 328291
           Summary: Privacy: Can't stop digikam writing private data as
                    XMP metadata, e.g. image history
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: [hidden email]
          Reporter: [hidden email]

digikam is writing private data as meta-data into the image. Private data is
e.g the image history (pathnames, resolution, etc.)

I did not find any way to stop digikam from doing this or make digikam to
remove this data.

I'm using digikam version 3.1.0

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load some image
2. Use workflow feature to a) remove all metadata, b) add some meta-data from a
template
3. Same the image
4a. Look at die metadata sidebar: digikam schema contains history.
4b. Verify with independent tool

--- Comment #1 from Gilles Caulier <[hidden email]> ---
Remove all metadata will do the stuff, but add template will restore versioning
info from XMP digiKam namespace...

A wrap around can be to remove XMP only. Template will be also applied to IPTC,
with some limitations of course.

Else, remove metadata tool must be improved to be able to drop some specific
namespace or tags, but it's a complex project...
