Generated diagram does not include metadata.

[dchan0629]

Description
Generated diagrams does not include PlantUML metadata.

Reproduction
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Write a PlantUML diagram script in a file named pumltest.puml
2. Refresh the PlantUM View to show diagram
3. Save diagram in PNG/SVG format or right click to export diagram in PNG/SVG format
4. Check the saved PNG/SVG diagram for metadata content (java -Dfile.encoding-UTF-8 -jar plantuml.jar -metadata -charset UTF-8 pumltest.png
   

Expected behavior
Expected the PlantUML script is embedded in the PNG/SVG diagram file.

Environment

• Windows: Windows 10
• Notepad++ version: 8.7.5 (64-bit)
• PlantUML Viewer: 1.8.0.12

Additional information
Using the plantuml-1.2024.8.jar (included in the PlantUML plugin) command line to generate PNG/SVG diagrams does contain metadata. However, the diagram exported from the PlantUML Viewer is missing the metadata.

Hi @dchan0629 ,

thanks for reporting.
PlantUmlViewer rerenders the images generated by plantuml, this means exported images are not the original plantuml images anymore. Content like image metadata gets lost here.

Your report therefore can be seen more as a feature than a bug but definitively a potential feature / improvement for the future. But it definitively needs a few modifications in the code.

BR,
Philipp

Thanks for the clarification. As this was intended by design, it makes sense to be a feature enhancement request / suggestion then. For now, I will work around with using NppExec to get a diagram with metadata after the diagram creation is done. Thanks for your quick response. David
