Render settings watermark

I thought it would be useful to have an option to include render settings into the rendered image as a watermark, write it into the metadata or export into sipmple text file which will be exported together with the rendered image.

By render settings i mean number of samples, lightpaths, threshold, motion blur etc. or any other scene/object/material settings.

I think it is useful when optimizing scene for render animation when simply every second counts. Usually I do 5-20 versions before I compare (quality/time) and decide which is OK for the final render run. All changes I make between renders I am forced to write manually into the name of file or make an excel table with names, changes etc.

If this functionality already exists, I'd appreciate to send me the link to it. Thanks!

I would love to be having some sort of an exif data manager. It's been in my mind for a while.

For my workflow it would be quite practical to be able to tag every frame in video separately by using text editor in Blender or a CSV file.

Yes, some kind of EXIF with all of its fields but for CGI.

It will be simple way how to reproduce this specific version of rendered image.

I have found only these basic options to include in render.

docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/render/output/properties/metadata.html

It can be also included in rendered image. But it is only for some basic informations.
