I’m sure that a lot of iPhone developers out there are making loads of screenshots of apps. It would either be for interface reference, previewing the app to people over the internet or any other use of app screenshots. All those nice screenshots would then be synced via iTunes onto your mac (or pc) and provide you with awesome clutter.

Actually making screenshots is not the only thing I do, sometimes my iPhone just freezes at the lockscreen only to return to normal after making a screenshot of the lockscreen. If I could simply select all “lockscreen screenshots” and press cmd-backspace, voila! Clutter be gone.

But how would one identify lockscreen screenshots I hear you say? Besides looking at the screenshot there aren’t many options. I suggest the following.

If iPhone screenshots would include Exif data of the app they were taken on, it would make finding specific screenshots a lot easier.

Current Exif data in an iPhone screenshot and a photo.

I am aware of the fact that PNG images do not have support for Exif, so by supporting this feature it would have to result in screenshots having the JPG file format.

So now what?
Maybe someone in the jailbreak community is able to build this feature as I do not see Apple implementing this in normal version of the iPhone OS.
