I think you missed the further explanation in what you quoted where I wrote: "In fact all I want is a bulk EXIF location tag remover for Android". I find the title of a thread is often useful in working out the subject. If you take a look, you will see this thread is called " Android app to remove all location data in bulk". I'm not sure how I can make it any clearer. Does such nit-picking (and making mistakes when you do) have a purpose? |

I want an app which will remove all EXIF location data. I may have to settle for removing all EXIF data of any sort and this distinction has got a bit lost in the messages although I am as guilty as anyone in this respect. Initially I took some pictures containing EXIF location data on my smartphone and later set the camera app not to store location. As I tested several other camera apps (I am new to taking pictures on a smartphone) I found some of these apps had defaulted to storing EXIF location data. So I have perhaps 80% without location data and 20% with. So I would like an app which I can point at one of my photo folders on Android (there's only a few of them) and ask the app to bulk clean all the EXIF (location) data in that folder. Your app allows me to go into the photo directory and then "select all". I suppose maybe that's how I have to do it in Android but I was hoping for something a bit like a file explorer which would allow me to specify the directory to be cleaned. I guess Nospam will take me to task for not explaining this and the fault is partly mine but I wish he didn't have such a defensive and accusatory attitude which prevents communication. One app I saw showed a list of photos and flagged which ones had location data which is very useful as, in truth, it is only location data about my home I want to clean and not the location of a bridge or whatever. However it had no erase facility. You sound more like a troll by the minute. I tend to think I've been trolled by Nospam whose line has been "I know where the app you want can be found but I won't tell you". It has left me chasing the info for far longer than necessary. If you tell a tool to remove location data from a photo that has none, nothing happens, so just select all, and have at it. I think I said exactly that in my last message to you: if I can't strip out purely EXIF location data then removing all data will do. Worse yet, you are going on and on about this, and in the time you've spent here on this, you could have easily used a Windows app to get the job done many times over. I am looking for an app which works as I just described and I haven't found it. Thank you for your pointer to an app but it isn't quite what I want as I think I explained in some detail above. It's a trivial matter to copy the photos to your PC, and you might even be able to work on them with the phone connected to your PC without even copying them. Unfortunately it's not trivial because USB file transfer doesn't to work properly between my smartphone and pc. I have to use Google Drive, which I much prefer not to on grounds of privacy, because email can only send a few photos at a time. You clearly have some technical knowledge on this subject, you're not stupid, and getting the job done on a PC is a no-brainer. All of the signs of trolling are here. I too like to think I am not stupid but if I can't find an app and Google Play's search is inadequate then why not ask those here who may have already come across such an app? The problem arose when Nospam took the attitude that he knew of an app but wouldn't tell me because he mistakenly thought I was too lazy to search. |

Does such nit-picking (and making mistakes when you do) have a purpose? says the person who is *still* looking for a solution despite several options given (not just apps), and who has now admitted there is *also* a hardware defect, one which he can't be bothered to fix. |

It took me about 10 seconds on Google - including batch removal, but I'm not about to get in the middle of this little dispute. It would appear that there is a bit of an issue between nospam and the OP. I have several Windows apps to do batch or bulk removal but not Android. Can you confirm what you found on Google is actually an Android app? My issue here is that I think I caught a whiff of trolling, and the way nospam is replying to you, I get the idea that you might be a known troll to him. But I'll take my chances one time, but with a fair warning that I didn't try this app, and that I am not going to thoroughly read up on every app on the play store. This one took me about 10 second to find in a Google search: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...hotoexifeditor You can't really win on this one. If that app is exactly what you're looking for, it just confirms what no spam said about your search abilities. If you tell me it sucks for this or that reason, it just confirms my suspicions that you're trolling. Thank you for the link. The app is not what really I want and I think that's maybe because I haven't explained my need in detail but got drawn in to a fruitless exchange. I want an app which will remove all EXIF location data. I may have to settle for removing all EXIF data of any sort and this distinction has got a bit lost in the messages although I am as guilty as anyone in this respect. Initially I took some pictures containing EXIF location data on my smartphone and later set the camera app not to store location. As I tested several other camera apps (I am new to taking pictures on a smartphone) I found some of these apps had defaulted to storing EXIF location data. So I have perhaps 80% without location data and 20% with. So I would like an app which I can point at one of my photo folders on Android (there's only a few of them) and ask the app to bulk clean all the EXIF (location) data in that folder. Your app allows me to go into the photo directory and then "select all". I suppose maybe that's how I have to do it in Android but I was hoping for something a bit like a file explorer which would allow me to specify the directory to be cleaned. I guess Nospam will take me to task for not explaining this and the fault is partly mine but I wish he didn't have such a defensive and accusatory attitude which prevents communication. One app I saw showed a list of photos and flagged which ones had location data which is very useful as, in truth, it is only location data about my home I want to clean and not the location of a bridge or whatever. However it had no erase facility. You sound more like a troll by the minute. I tend to think I've been trolled by Nospam whose line has been "I know where the app you want can be found but I won't tell you". It has left me chasing the info for far longer than necessary. An app, not the app. If you tell a tool to remove location data from a photo that has none, nothing happens, so just select all, and have at it. I think I said exactly that in my last message to you: if I can't strip out purely EXIF location data then removing all data will do. This makes no sense. I said to strip location data out of all photos, whether they had location data or not. You don't need to know which photos have it. I dont think you have comprehended what I wrote. I said if I can't strip out *only* EXIF location data then removing *all* EXIF data will do. I know what you wrote. So what is stopping you from doing exactly that? Worse yet, you are going on and on about this, and in the time you've spent here on this, you could have easily used a Windows app to get the job done many times over. I am looking for an app which works as I just described and I haven't found it. Thank you for your pointer to an app but it isn't quite what I want as I think I explained in some detail above. It's a trivial matter to copy the photos to your PC, and you might even be able to work on them with the phone connected to your PC without even copying them. Unfortunately it's not trivial because USB file transfer doesn't to work properly between my smartphone and pc. Of course. It's always something. You could always Google how to fix that, or maybe just troll another group for advice. Thanks for the suggestion but I'm not really interested in looking further into it because driver problems can be painfully slow to diagnose and sometimes a driver doesn't exist for a particular OS if it is old Yeah, it's always something. I have to use Google Drive, which I much prefer not to on grounds of privacy, because email can only send a few photos at a time. You clearly have some technical knowledge on this subject, you're not stupid, and getting the job done on a PC is a no-brainer. All of the signs of trolling are here. I too like to think I am not stupid but if I can't find an app and Google Play's search is inadequate then why not ask those here who may have already come across such an app? It makes no sense to search on Play, but I'm sure you know that. It's awkward, and Google is more effective. My smartphone screen makes pages found by Google searches too small to scan easily. Surely you have used a smartphone before and would know to search for an app in the Play Store? WTF? Use your PC for Google, find an app, and then go to the Play store on your phone. |

Android app to remove all location data in bulk

wrote: others found apps within seconds. Turns out they weren't suitable as I explained. turns out you moved the goalposts, making the suggestions unsuitable. what's worse is that you now admit that your searches were done using google play and not with a more capable search engine, namely google itself (or bing, for that matter). Google Play is the standard to search for apps on Android. You know that but are nit-picking once more. nope. it's not the standard at all. it's *one* way to search, not the only way, and one which is inflexible and produces sub-standard results. not only that, but you *also* admit to having defective hardware and show zero interest in fixing it. Comprehension is not your strong point. I did not mention hardware when I wrote "USB file transfer doesn't to work properly between my smartphone and pc". you mentioned transferring over usb. usb is hardware. or are you now going to claim usb ports and usb cables are software? The problem is to do with drivers. Let me guess, you know how to fix it but aren't going to tell me. no, the problem is definitely not drivers. |
