I'm about to switch fully to Linux - just waiting on one more part to arrive because its a bigger project and I like doing these things as a single unit - so I'm looking forward to having greater control and access to info that using Linux entails. I've played around with files a little when I was doing my "survival Tails boot drive" project - definitely more you can do in Linux. Anyways...

I *think* I had a false alarm with the metadata. My camera has no permission to access location and there's no location in the image details.
