Available Options in ACP:
Home > Options > [WMTech] EXIF Location Data Remover

• Show Privacy Information To Uploaders?
  A short security information hint will be shown to all your members uploading pictures. If you do not want this to be shown, uncheck this option.

• Enable Exif Cache?
  If this box is checked, the Exif data stripped from pictures will be stored in a cache. The cache information won't be shown to members, but compatible gallery add-ons (XFMG) can retrieve and renew their Exif information data from this cache, if you use the "Rebuild EXIF Data" tool. Also the ACP attachment browser will display the Exif data to admins, if this setting is enabled.
  Default: Checked
  
  
• Delete All Cached Exif Data?
  Clicking this button removes ALL cached EXIF data from the database, gallery add-ons can no longer retrieve the data when their "Rebuild EXIF Data" tool is triggered.
  Use it very carefully, it can't be reversed!

• This add-on uses several template modifications instead of deprecated template hooks for the front and back end (ACP) of XenForo. All template modifications are VERY IMPORTANT for this add-on to be able to work. They are designed for the default style only! If you use any custom style, please check if all modifications have been applied correctly by looking at the numbers in the right column of the line with the modification name. If there is a grey or red number, the modification could not be applied thus deactivating some or even all features of this add-on. Contact us or your style designer to solve those issues!
