nhantrn made an interesting comment in issue/6 that I thought deserves a page of its own.

Is it possible in Javascript add metatags into saved images?

I would be really cool if there is an option to add the original URL of the image into the image's metatag.

We could store the URL in an EXIF field in JPG and TIFF files, however, this is not possible with GIF, PNG, wait... Well, every other image format. Urgh.

Another downside of this is that it will slow down the saving process. Each compatible file will need to be re-processed to generate an EXIF header.

This needs some time for pondering. /me moves reading chair in corner of room with fez and pipe.

If you go ahead with this, Please make it optional in the settings (IF it will slow the saving process down). Thanks.

"moves reading chair in corner of room with fez and pipe" hahaha :)

Awesome, this is definitely a nice extra. So, you could just put it way down in the to-do list for now.

You're on a roll with this addon chobbin.
