Of course, but often I find an old plot and have no idea of the context or I want one specific plot from a folder of countless plots that all look relatively similar. Images can be extracted from PDFs so the metadata _might_ still survive even in digital publication.

I have already done a little bit of work testing how to read it which turned out to be quite simple. It relies on `exiftool` which I see you have [experience with](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/bindeps-for-an-executable/3161).

This is off the main topic though so let’s move further conversation to a new thread. I’ll post something at some point today once I’ve built a full example. I’m still a bit uncertain of how much is possible or the best approach.

The end goal is to be able to save useful metadata pertaining to plots into the saved images themselves. Definite Includes Specific keywords, plot specific versioninfo() Pkg.status() Executing code header comments Executing code path Other Possible Includes Executing script in its entirety, anything more is impractical Author DOI/publication reference, when image will be published Executing script hash/commit n…
