Upgrade (of my test site) complete! Looking forward to testing out the new release! Love the new batch manager redesign so far.

We just want general statistics. Details of what is shared is provided in the Github issue. You can deactivate this feature, but we hope you won't, because you can see our code and trust us.

I probably won't disable this but just for my own info, this can be turned off via local files editor (local/config/config.inc.php):

Code:

$conf['send_piwigo_infos'] = false;

Right?

That's correct. This is the way to disable the statistics sent to piwigo.org

One question about statistics: will you increase the size of the database field for the ip address so that IPv6 addresses are not truncated any more?

This is not related to the statistics we are talking about in the announcement.

[Github] Piwigo issue #942 has been updated to be fixed in 15.0.0beta2

I was referring to the statistics tab in the admin.
Same term different meaning.

And I wanted to make it obvious for our readers, because piwigo.org does not memorize the IP address from which the "send_piwigo_infos" request was made. IP address can be considered as private data (even though I think it's dumb to consider the IP address as such)

Looks nice, thanks for all the effort you put in, maintaining and renewing Piwigo !

Hi,
First I'd like to thank You for the great Piwigo app (also for its development and support). I'm glad that I can be one of Your users with my own instance. I'd like to know what you think about:

1. Nowadays Password isn't enough:
"Authorization Token from Mobile App" -> [Github] Piwigo issue #2168
I've private photos in my Piwigo and users to whom I gave access don't know how to take care of security, so this topic is very important to me and not only for me (I think so judging by the large number of likes in a short time since the creation of the topic in github)

2. Security: In the topic: https://piwigo.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=33710 I mentioned two plugins that complement each other (one reports warnings), I think that their features are basic enough to be included in the core or main plugin offered by default in the application.

These are just requests (not demands). I appreciate Your work and would be grateful for your time and answers to the above topics (I consider them worth considering).

(...) I'd much rather have better backup and restore functionality so I can move my gallery between hosts without having to manually re-upload all my images and manually re-add all the image metadata added to pictures over time.

I think this feature would be very useful for people who transfer photos and I don't deny its importance.

  Nevertheless, I think that the security problem I described is a critical priority. Of course, I don't want to pressure the creators of Piwigo because They have given us a lot of joy (we can use the awesome piwigo apps), but I myself am afraid for my photos gallery. I've private photos there (intimate) to which I've given access to my closest family members who don't have IT skills. As far as I could, I've passed on to them to keep the password to themselves and change it from time to time. Unfortunately, it's very difficult to maintain such regularity. I don't have security paranoia, I care about common sense. My request for security features (authorization confirmed from a trusted device eg. mobile app) is highly desired by me and people who value privacy. Especially today, when password cracking methods, social engineering are at an advanced level. It must be remembered that one negative event is bigger impact than the announcement of 100 great features.
