Is there any way to save an array or dictionary directly into/with a krita document?

[Alex_Mehler1]

what the title says. is there any slot where i can add additional information into a krita document and also be able to save it in the kra file on save?

(i dont know , im kinda sure ive seen someone develop a note taking addon for attaching notes to different layers. maybe ive dreamed that though because i cannot find it anymore , i wanted to take a look how he did it …

Buli Notes

Buli Notes A note manager plugin for Krita. What is Buli Notes? Buli Notes allows to add notes to Krita documents. As notes are embedded into .kra file, you’re sure to never loose them Starting from the idea of being able to put comments on layers, @halla gave me this information concerning annotations Result is not exactly what I had in mind, but currently initial idea can only be implemented in Krita and not through a plugin. Anyway, I’m satisfied of current result …

I’m sure @Grum999 will be able to explain it.

everything i need should be in there somewhere

Looking in BuliNote code might be a little bit more complex than just reading link I gave, as code to write stuff in Krita file is nothing compared to everything that has been implemented in BuliNote (user interfaces, encoding/decoding data, managing notes and different types of linked data…)

Embedding data in Krita file is literally one line of code
Same to read it.

In your case (list of dict) you have to serialize data in a binary string to write it, and unserialize binary data read from file.
There’s many possible method to serialize/unserialize data, you have to find one that match your need (type of data, simplicity, …)
