Storing filter and settings as output image metadata

Well... what I said already in the topic basically.

ComfyUI has already that amazing feature that saves all the parameters you used to generate an image inside the actual image as metadata.

Another great feature related to this is that, by dragging an image generated by FF back to FF, it could pick the correspondent filter and change the parameters automatically, AND give us a small pop up to confirm if we want to download the filter in case we don't have that filter previously downloaded.

That would be an amazing tool for the community to share their work.

Looks like you've invented RARJPEG – an ancient method of sharing binary files on forums that only allow you to attach images

For those who don't know, one can append any data to the end of a JPG file, and the image will still display correctly. One can also add any data in front of an archive, and the archive will unpack correctly.

So, you could pack your filter into a zip/rar/7z archive, then call

Code
copy /b image.jpg filter.rar result.jpg

.
This result.jpg will show up as an image but can be renamed to a .rar file and unpacked. This can even be automated in a command-line script.

I doubt it will make into Filter Forge but thanks for your input anyway!
