    I've noticed that every photo taken with Open Camera automatically has the Title and Subject metadata fields filled out with what looks like software version information, eg. "Maker:0x4c,Date:2018-6-27,Ver:4,Lens:Kan03,Act:Lar01,E-Y,E-ver:20181102.5108589.002.000?"

    This wouldn't normally be a problem but this data is getting unwantedly auto-imported into fields when I upload these images to a service I use. How do I make Open Camera not write to these metadata fields?

      Download the source, (re)enter the code to your liking, compile the app.

    This isn't entered by Open Camera as such, but is added by the device. (There is a separate request to remove exif information that is on my TODO, although that feature will be to strip out all the metadata.)

      There is a pending merge request on this. just waiting to be approved...

      I've got people wanting to take a look into my photos metadata and get personal info out of it. So I would say This is a very important privacy issue to me

    It doesn't seem to do this with the default Google camera app (it leaves those fields blank), so I assumed it was Open Camera's thing. It isn't really a game-breaking issue, just a bit annoying. XD
