And also, if we would make the chunk "unsafe to copy" what does prevent an application developer to still copy the chunk? In the end, these are just "suggestions". We're still relying on both developers and users to act responsibly. Which is for me the right thing to do. They know what their applications are doing. Protection against hackers, I'm all for it, but protecting dumb users, I don't know why we should. :) Willem On 2017-02-06 19:33, John Bowler wrote: > As Soni L. observed: > >> Shouldn't eXIf be considered "sensor/camera data" and thus only useful for ppl who >know what they're doing, and not automatically mangled into the image? > > Yes; that's how I see it.
