Description
Hi,

Another ferature request:

Would it be possible to add a notes section when saving images?

I would envision this being text, written to the image itself - let's say appended to the bottom, outside the specified area of the scene, with a maximum of say 280 characters (or whatever is reasonable).

The rationale for this is as follows:

When I am making figure panels, I  will often make many versions of each panel, with different settings, over a long period of time (e.g. multiple revisions of a paper). I like to report the settings that were used to produce the figure in the figure legend (threshold, hide dust or zone settings, sequence range, color scheme etc) - but keeping track of this info on a per panel basis is really tedious. This would be much easier if I could save this metadata (or whatever notes I like) to the original source image itself, in a form that can be easily cropped out later. 

I would see this as being a checkbox with a small text entry box for those who want it available when saving an image.

I know it's a bit out of left field (and maybe it's too hard to implement) - but if it is possible I suspect a lot of people would use it.

Cheers
Oli
