Storing the source path is problematic privacy and security wise

Thanks


What does this means? That it won't be applied?

It only means that you may have to only activate this (or at least the full path metadata) feature if the user explicitly requests it. Probably the best way to do that is to introduce a new option of the image2 demuxer, probably with an AV_OPT_TYPE_FLAGS type.


Can you give an example on why this would be a security issue, considering
you already have it anywhere, only not available to filters until now?

Besides, isn't metadata way more sensitive than a simple file path?

The problem is possible leaking of information about the system which processed the file, because it is typically not disclosed in an output file where the system stores media files it processes.
