Can gimp store layer meta-data?

I would like to import photo references and be able to keep track of what file came from where within my xcf file, preferably within the layer to which the reference is imported (or paste). Any idea if this is possible?

Thanks

Brendan

Just add another (text?) layer with the necessary references/information. Your xcf will then be fully documented.

You could use the layer name maybe?

Hi,

in 2013 there were some efforts to improve the metadata situation in GIMP. You find more information in the lower half of this document:

Kind regards,

Sven

It's a work in progress by Commons Machinery, currently on pause, because they are working on a web service and are in need of more contributors to keep working on libraries as well.
