Description-en: GTK app for viewing and cleaning metadata in files
Metadata within a file can tell a lot about you. Cameras record data about when
a picture was taken and what camera was used. Office applications automatically
add author and company information to documents and spreadsheets. Maybe you
do not want to disclose those information.
.
This tool allows you to view metadata in your files and to get rid of them as
much as possible.
.
Under the hood, it relies on mat2 to parse and remove the metadata.
