Location published

A JPEG, PNG or WebP beside your writing holds where it was taken, as a phone or a camera with GPS writes into its photographs. Statac publishes the file exactly as it is, so the position is published with it.

What you’ll see

note  Location published: `content/photo-1.jpg` holds where it was taken in its metadata
  Publish a copy without it, or add `location-published` to `quiet:` in `statac.yaml`.

In the terminal the message also names the file and line where there is one, and marks the exact text.

Why Statac says so

A file you put in content/ is published byte for byte, whatever it holds: Statac never changes it. Anyone who has the picture can read the latitude and longitude in it. That is often what you mean, and often not, and Statac can’t tell which. So statac check says so, once for each such file, and the choice stays with you.

The file itself is all that holds the position. The resized copies Statac makes of a photograph a page shows hold the picture and nothing else. A photograph a page shows and nothing links is published as its copies alone, and nothing is said of it. One a page links, one no page shows and one left alone by optimise: false are published as the files they are.

Statac looks for the position a camera writes, a latitude and a longitude, in a JPEG, PNG or WebP. It looks at no other kind of file, and for nothing else a file may say of a place. A file in static/ is never looked at, and nothing is said of it.

statac build and statac serve say nothing of this and don’t count it.

How to fix it

Nothing is wrong where you mean the position to be published. Quieten the note by name and it is no longer shown.

To publish the picture without it, make a copy without the location and put it in the file’s place. Most programs that export photographs can leave the location out, and so can a phone when it shares one. The copy is yours to make: Statac publishes the file you give it.

Example

content/photo-1.jpg stands beside a post that links it, and holds a position. statac check says so. Once a copy exported without the location stands in its place, nothing is said.

In statac.yaml, to stop it being shown:

quiet: [location-published]

Its name

Name	location-published
In the terminal	statac explain location-published
To stop showing it	quiet: [location-published] in statac.yaml, once you have understood it. statac check still counts it.
