About

The extension gsb_metadata_cleaner helps the reduce the amount of data - especially personal information - in metadata of files. It uses exiftool to delete everything except for "copyright" data and tags which can be configured per storage. This applies to pdfs and images.

It is part of the Government Side Builder 11.

Installation

The best way to install this extension is to start with the GSB Sitepackage Kickstarter extension.

Configuration

For each file storage you can configure (TCA/TSconfig) which fields (except for copyright/Xmp-dc:Rights, which are always kept) are preserved.

Extension Settings

The paths to the exiftool and qpdf binary can be configured. Note that you cannot configure the binary name itself, just the path to the binaries. You can disable qpdf if it breaks you pdfs.

Usage

Nothing to do. Just include the extension and your file's metadata gets a cleanup 🧹 on upload.
