But in fairness, they've fully listed the data being collected. I'm actually very comfortable with them collecting these metrics (though I'm glad there's a way to turn it off just the same).
- A unique identifier that is generated by computing the SHA-1 of the machine's MAC address.
- The screen width and height
- The version of Atom being used
- The name of each item opened in a pane such as EditorView, SettingsView, and MarkdownPreviewView
- The amount of time the current window was open for
- The amount of time the current window to took to load
- The amount of time the app took to launch
- cstuder 13y agoI'm almost comfortable with the choice of metrics, except for: >> The name of each item opened in a pane such as EditorView, SettingsView, and MarkdownPreviewView << Why would they need to know my filenames?
- gnud 13y agoI _think_ they're talking about the actual 'atoms' - that is the editor components. So the data that will be sent to google is 'EditorView is open', not 'EditorView contains these files'. I might be wrong though.
- gjtorikian 13y agoYou're absolutely right. We don't track individual filenames or data.
