It seems that Metadata Cleaner (fr.romainvigier.MetadataCleaner) is no longer maintained and has disappeared from Flathub, any ideas for a replacement?

@lebout2canap That's sad to hear.
I didn't try it yet, but https://flathub.org/en/apps/io.github.tobagin.scramble looks like a replacement, but it only supports images, not PDF, EPUB etc.

@d_k_bo Thank you for this valuable information. I was basically using it for images, so Scramble should be able to do the trick.
