Better privacy settings?
I love FlickrExport, and would like to be able to be confident that I'm not posting my camera or lens serial number with some of the shots I take. Right now, as I understand it, I can either post no metadata (export settings in Aperture) or all. I understand from reading the forum that FlickrExport passes through the metadata that Aperture includes.
Would it be possible to add privacy settings to remove the camera & lens serials, and 'round' the time and GPS data to the nearest 15 minutes/10-20 miles?

Inappropriate?Hi John,
I believe that this might be possible to do from a technical point of view, but it's not a simple thing to add to FlickrExport.
In the meantime, do you know that you can hide your EXIF information on Flickr at http://www.flickr.com/account?tab=pri... ?2 Comments

This is one of the best points

Thanks Fraser!
I do know that I can do that, but like seeing the EXIF data there. I learn a lot about how other folks take shots by seeing it, and I don't want to hide it all.
Also, how much you like that solution depends how much you trust Flickr/Yahoo. -
Definitely understood, but it is at least something you can do today (and do retroactively for photos already on Flickr).

Inappropriate?One other quick question. Via prefs, export, email export presettings, edit, there's an advanced tab. Do you use that feature/those settings? So if I de-select include metadata, will FlickrExport not include the meta-data? -
Inappropriate?It's the settings in File Export that apply to FlickrExport. If you deselect "Include Metadata" for the preset you use for Flickr, Aperture will generate a file without any metadata and pass that to FlickrExport.

Inappropriate?As a followup, I used the command line tool exiftool to look, and it seems that Aperture might be doing the right thing already. I used the following options for my Canon camera:
exiftool -SerialNumber -InternalSerialNumber -CameraSerialNumber
