various candidate apps, so you have no grounds to tell me I didn't search.

bull****.

you might have done a quick query, but that's about it.

try changing the query terms to obtain better results. repeat until you
get what you seek.

learning how to find stuff online is an incredibly good skill to have,
and it's something that comes with experience.

and no, i'm not going to spoon feed you.

Bull****. You have no idea of the question asked, so you fly.

bull**** right back. i know exactly what he wants to do.

Name one
app that does what the OP asked, or go away.

You claim those tools exist: so YOU name them.

i don't do ultimatums.

a proper search will reveal a number of options.


Prove it. He did several searches. As usual, you know nothing about the
subject but claim you know all.

I most certainly did several searches. On different days and with
different search parameters.

Searching with "bulk" seems to be of little value as the Google Play store
search doesn't appear to use it when providing results. The results I got
were for one file at a time. Savageduck kindly suggested PhotoExif Edit
but it too is for one file at a time.

Isn't it time for people here to stop name calling and see if they
themselves can actually find a bulk EXIF cleaner for Android without
claiming there "must be one" and "you're lazy"?

Well, I don't know of such a tool and I don't know how to find one,
except by getting a long list and trying each one.

The hope was for someone that already knows of one such tool, but the
one that claims it is easy to find, he refuses to name it. Knowing him
that certifies, as usual, that he doesn't know but will not back off. He
is done that several times. Claim something but when pushed to prove it,
he doesn't and eventually drops the thread.

I have looked and installed several of the apps I found but none do what I

then keep looking, or refine your search terms to get better results.

Why don't you even name one? You claim there are such tools, you must
have used or known them. So please say which and don't tell the asker to
google it.

i gave sufficient clues for search terms to be able to find such an
app. it's not that difficult. really, it isn't.

i am not going to spoon feed him or anyone else, especially one who has
a stick up his ass about searching.

Prove it: prove that those tools exist. Provide the exact name of the
tool, prove a google search query that finds that tool.

I know I know: you have not the foggiest idea.

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.

I don't know Jim, but I do know "nospam", and he often claims things
that he later can not support with data. On many posts he talks as if he
knows everything and everybody else is wrong, specially on the Android
group. Thus when he claims something strongly I doubt.

Other times he may be right, but knowing his history I have problems
distinguishing them.

I have many Windows tools which will remove EXIF data, including
EXIFtool
which I like for its drag and drop option, and some will do it in
bulk.

exiftool is a command line tool and therefore has no drag and drop
capability, other than what the shell itself provides.

If you create a shortcut to "exiftool(-k).exe" then you can drag and
drop
your jpg files onto it and it will report the values in a window. I
have a
shortcut to Exiftool in my Windows taskbar to do this.

that's a wrapper around exiftool which provides a window and drag/drop.

It was incorrect to say " exiftool is a command line tool and therefore
has
no drag and drop capability" because the wrapper facility is provided by
Exiftool.

it's not incorrect.

exiftool is command line tool that's written in perl. it knows nothing
about drag/drop or guis. it's also cross platform.

the wrapper can be provided by anyone and adds support for a specific
platform, which in this case is a windows .exe that also supports
drag/drop, and because windows doesn't normally have perl, he had to
remove the perl dependency.

But it happens to be provided in the exiftool package, so it is part of
the suite.

"nospam" was quite helpful to me until he falsely alleged I was too lazy to
search for an app. That was his mistake. He made an assumption (and it is
often the case someone is too lazy as he alleges) but it was wrong.

well, it looks like i hit a nerve.

you claimed to have searched many times but found nothing

bill found something in 10 seconds. i found something in about that
long and several more in a little more than that.

you later claimed to have found something but it was 'clumsy', thereby
contradicting your initial claim of not finding anything.

in other words, my assessment that you had not searched was correct all
along.

Now he's wrong about Exiftool. Putting aside Mac, there is only one
executable provided for Exiftool and it can be used for drag and drop as
well as for launching a command line dialog. Why does your friend say it
is command line only?

you don't get to 'put aside the mac' to suit your agenda.

the windows exe is a special version unique to windows because windows
lacks perl that other systems have.

install perl and you will be able to run the same stuff other platforms
can run.

I tried this and all I got was "EZ unEXIF" buit it is cllumsy and it's
approach to batch is not to select a folder but t use "select all". Try
it. It's not user friendly.

in other words, you *did* find a batch removal tool, contrary to your
claim of not being able to find one.

you also don't get to dismiss it because it's 'clumsy'.

i also suggested two alternate options, which you have ignored, one of
which is easy and will do what you want in a more reliable and more
efficient way.

that's about how long it took me for an initial set of results.

further tweaking the query terms helped refined those results.

Can you confirm you found a bulk EXIF eraser which works on Android?

yes. several of them, in fact.

I mean other than the clumsy semi-batch EZ unEXIF I mentioned elsewhere.

you did not say anything about not being clumsy.

your original claim was:
However I can't find a bulk EXIF remover for Android. In fact all

which turns out to be false.

as for clumsy, batch processing photos on a mobile device is itself a
clumsy workflow. i gave two suggestions on a much better workflow, but
so far, you've ignored both.

it's clear that you are not interested in an actual solution.

nope. there is no exe included in the exiftool package, which is he
https://sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/Image-ExifTool-11.03.tar.gz

the windows exe is a *separate* download, for those stuck with windows:
https://sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/exiftool-11.03.zip

How does that disprove what I wrote which is: "I have many Windows tools
which will remove EXIF data, including EXIFtool which I like for its drag
and drop option, and some will do it in bulk"?

it's already been explained, many, many times.

I stated *Windows*, yet you replied:

"exiftool is a command line tool and therefore has no drag and drop
capability, other than what the shell itself provides. there are third
party tools that may have drag and drop and which use exiftool under the
hood."

That's wrong because I was not talking about 3rd part tools. I said I was
talking about how I used Exiftool on my Windows pc.

it's not wrong.

you still don't understand what exiftool is and how it works.

once again, exiftool is a *cross-platform* *command* *line* *tool* that
runs on more than just windows.

as with other command line tools, it does not have drag/drop nor does
it have a gui window.

the windows *version* of exiftool is specific to windows. it is *not*
cross-platform. it is a wrapper around the exiftool core, which does
offer drag/drop and a window interface, but only because it's a windows
app with exiftool as just one *part* of it.

you are incorrectly assuming that the windows exe defines exiftool. it
does not.

i have never claimed to know everything, certainly not about android. i

in other words, you haven't bothered to search either.

Well, in the description they claim to be capable of making batch EXIF edits.
Whether that is valid, or not I could not say as I do not use any Android
devices.

I didn't follow this thread closely, but it appeared to me that you
got sucked into it just like me. I know that some people here have
issues with nospam, but an awful lot of the arguments with him are
absurd. It's like some people are determined to prove him wrong on
something, anything, no matter what it takes.

I agree with very little of what he says on some subjects, examples
including the threads on autonomous cars, and recently backup cameras.
I don't bother arguing because he's clearly expressing strongly held
opinions, and to be honest, even though I disagree, I consider his
opinions to be valid. There is no "right" or truth in some of his
statements, but some people argue as if there were. It's just silly,
especially with off topic threads.
