#15 Add embedding of diagram source text in png in Windows

[Nikos Karandreas]

Hi,

thanks for a great tool.

I'm using Msc-generator mostly on Linux (Debian) with maggot and occasionally on Windows.
maggot front-end implements embedding (saving) the zlib compressed source of a diagram as iTXt chunk in the png image file and loading the source when opening a png file that has the chunk and the valid tag 'Msc-generator source' in it.
I'd like to propose to add this feature to the Windows version as well, as this would allow easier transferring and sharing of diagrams between platforms and people.
Perhaps you might consider whether to have additional (new) tags for graphs and blocks for automatic recognition of diagram type (on opening a png file) or to keep it manual (according to the dialog selection), aligned with the source (text) open operation.

Best Regards
Nikos

Hi Nikos,

Thanks for your suggestion. I will take a look and add this. But I make no promises on how soon :-)
