--- Comment #1 from Brennan Kinney <polarathene-sig...@hotmail.com> ---
I think it should be anonymous by default, I just ran into this myself when
using ImageMagick to figure out what was wrong with my file(Krita claimed
information about bit depth on the image that was incorrect). I noticed my
username was included, I'm a Linux user so not platform specific.

Keeping this metadata with existing filese that contain it on save I understand
if it's meant to preserve that(as in it was metadata from a third party source,
not always necessarily going to be by our user only). Definitely something
users should be aware of due to privacy if this is not going to be switched to
anonymous by default. Perhaps a first run or similar(since existing users
should perhaps be notified when they update) warning about this feature being
enabled, even if disabled by default in future perhaps let users know about the
change and impact on all images they have created with Krita in the past?
