I might upset some of the people who get annoyed anytime privacy is brought up with those questions, but I hope you don't take offence to questions like these as I truly do appreciate you putting out a tool like this for the community! Just wondering how closely, if at all, it tries to emulate what Adobe does in this area.  |
If you are so concerned, perhaps you should take a look at the source code for the plugin (it's all in the .zip file you can download from the first message in this thread).
As far as I could tell, the one time I browsed through the code, it does not have the send a mass of data to Adobe functionality that was noted in ADE 4.0 though I'm not even in the running for world's greatest Python programmer so someone else may have noticed something that I didn't.
