prophet01 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I'm wondering whether or not there's any way of deleting this type of information when sharing images. Folder path Owner Computer Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcab Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Would clicking the "Remove Properties and Personal Information" button do anything? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prophet01 Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 Nah. Unfortunately that only enables deletion of metadata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChouDoufu Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) some of that info should change or be deleted when you copy/store that file on another computer. try moving to a different device, see if the data follows.

kekalot Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 yeah its only the information that shows where it is (at this moment, if you sent it to me and i saved it on my desktop it would show MY path to desktop) and where it's shared on local computer and what user on it "owns" it + M40-Laptop-1 is not a user on my computer so it wouldn't show that. plus unless you are sending those files directly via email (or something like Google Drive), not through Facebook and such then there would be none of that additional information left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prophet01 Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 ChouDoufu - Your suggestion put me on the right track to trying out sending images to another device subsequetly discovering that the information was indeed specific to the device opening the file. Logged back in to say what I'd found only to see kekalot's confirmation. Nice work folks. Appreciate the input. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember that if you compress the image you get rid of a lot of information pixels. Not sure exactly what data is left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoreFarang Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 When I want to be sure to that there is no easy (automatic) comparison possible I show a picture on my desktop and make a screenshot. And maybe I crop the picture after that. That will certainly remove lots of info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
