#118 Remove serial number from mtp-detect output ?

[zebul666]

Is it really necessary to have the serial number being printed out on mtp-detect output ?
Could this be only available via a switch to the command ?

Because you ask to post output of mtp-detect to support new device and a lot of people end up (like me) posting the serial number of their phone online.

I don't know the real nature of the threat to have that serial number online, but if it could be avoided.

what if that serial number is only printed if you specify a -s switch on command-line ?

good point.

its hard to hide, as the stuff is printed from a library function though

Yes. After i filled this request, i looked at the code and see that it is a function that does that job. It would need passing somme parameter or more complicated ways.

I understand
