[jira] [Commented] (CB-4003) Add config option to not use location information in Camera plugin (and default to not use it)

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4003?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13693913#comment-13693913 ] 

Andrew Bullock commented on CB-4003:
------------------------------------

The current behaviour effectively makes the Camera permission depend on the Location permission, which aside from being completely undocumented, is a ridiculous concept.

EXIF data is metadata, taking a picture shouldn't force the capture of location data.

A user should be able to take a photo without being nagged to add location data, which isnt even wanted by the app.
