Hi Grant, |

Yes, I just had to do this myself. |

There are two packages: jhead and exiftool. The former does jpegs only. |

I wound up using exiftool, there's a single command to strip all metadata: |

|

exiftool -all= *.jpg |

|

If I remember right that creates a copy of the file it processes. |

You can use exiftool to list tags and also remove individual tags. I |
| 13 |
used it to make sure there were no GPS tags in pictures from my phone. |
