Hi,

what I am "desperately" looking for is an option that would allow me to configure a site-wide EXIF/IPTC data viewing permission.

I need to prevent everone who is an anonymous user from viewing EXIF/IPTC information while making it available to everyone else.

How would that be achieved?

If there is no such option yet, I would be glad to make small changes to the code myself if you can give a bit of guidance.

Thanks in advance,

kuckus

There is not setting for this. You will need to edit photo.tpl of the theme you are using:

        {* Show any other photo blocks (comments, exif etc) *}
        {foreach from=$theme.params.photoBlocks item=block}
          {g->block type=$block.0 params=$block.1}
        {/foreach}

and wrap it with 

{if $user.isRegisteredUser}
above code goes here
{/if}

Only registered usser will see the comments as well as all other blocks for the photo page.
