Embed diagram source in png files

[ryankenney]

I've really enjoyed the source-embedded-in-url functionality of this plantuml-uml server. It's clever and effective.

However, there are times when I need to work with offline files. In these cases, it would be reallllly nice if the diagram source was embedded in the PNG files, so there one files that's both viewable and re-editable (via plantuml upload). Draw.io does this, and it's really handy.

(Internally, we go with the naming convention "file.drawio.png" to indicate to viewers that they can edit the image with draw.io.)

The diagram source is embedded in the PNG files : it is stored as metadata inside the PNG

Is this what you are looking for ?

Rad! Maybe we just need UI for uploading to plantuml-server... unless I missed that too.
