Hello, I do not say this new initiative is the right way to implement it, but it surely would be nice to have a way to keep track of some metadata For example WSxM keeps track of the operations performed by appending to the titlebar of each window, the name of the processes that were applied to the data showed in that window. You get a title like:
channel_1:flatten:drift_correction:FFT:... It's far from perfect (numerical parameters are lost) but the idea is useful. Regarding the measurement metadata, if you give meaningful names to the exported files, then you can always find again the original file and open it in Gwyddion to read the metadata. However I do not know a way in Gwyddion to remember the operations that lead to a particular image export (did I apply some polynomial background correction or just a plane fit on this image I now want to show at a conference?), and I think it would be nice to find a way to keep track of some relevant information (the name and folder of the orginal file, and the name of the transforming operations applied).
