We (few volunteers from the Krita community) have setup a discourse server for the Krita artist community. The setup is very much similar to Blenderartists.org . Being a forum related to art software the discussions will have a lot of images. From the GDPR perspective discourse provides a way to dow…

We should arguably include any images the user uploaded in the data download.

Technically they still have the URLs so they could just parse and pull them. I worry about image heavy users ending up costing lots and lots of server time when they click the button.

Sorry if this seems a silly idea, will a predetermined time frame given to user to come back for the zip file help. During this period the zip creation can be done when there is less server activity.

I am uneasy allowing a random end user with lots of activity the ability to trigger downloading half a gig of data from s3 for re-packaging. Much prefer to provide them with a link to a script they can run against the export to download images.

closing this for 6 days so our lawyer has a chance to read this before this gets derailed into a GDPR drama. you still have the ability to run the script as an admin for the user and email them images if you want.

Any update on this? Either a script/tool to use or core fix? I know how to manually do it, but I’m more sophisticated than others. Just to expand on that, ![Screenshot_20200422-132435|281x500](upload://dYJTG1LPTCy8fp52SrPh7a1p89j.png) came out of a user-archive.csv generated today. That’s not a …

I did a post export for the first time since May yesterday and see that it has been given some love, but a strange (to me) choice: Discourse 2.5.0.beta4 Release Notes Add user_profile to user_archive CSV export But no images in there and I still see fragments (tested with meta) with very ha…

Putting images in the archive would be a PITA. What we could easily include is the cooked post alongside the raw so images and everything else that is transformed is associated in a standard way that can easily be parsed.
