Hi August,

On 2020-01-05 20:28:30, you wrote to me:

Strange. Why wouldn't they support it? What would be the benefit of that?

When I export the key to the server, I have the option not to export
attributes (photo ID). Maybe it's optional on importing to, but the option
isn't given to you?

Bye, Wilfred.
