Saved From Information
Browser plug-in that adds URL to image

The plug-in would add the URL of the image to the Comments attribute of the properties when you save an image.

This is not intended as a copyright control measure, just for people who save images from a website and then can't remember where they came from. Also, if you email the images to someone, they would be able to see where they came from and visit the site.

The "let's all" version of this idea would be to encourage webmasters to add the attribute to images before they are downoaded.

Not clear how far this goes to achieving what you want, but it records the url somehow. [boysparks, Mar 31 2008]

       Although, it did sound like a government-conspiracy thing from the title.. like, we need to save the public from knowing what we're doing, it's for their own good. Heh. Maybe I'm just paranoid.

       I thought so too. Strangely enough, googling "saved from information" only returns documents using it in the same meaning as this idea.

       Hard to understand why this isn't done already.

       Bloody genius!

       Far too sensible - what's it doing here?

       That vote for button got stuck on the first try again. Ideas like this need more than just one positive vote per person.

       the only thing that would make this idea more delicious would be if you were to dip it in chocolate and deep fry it first. It must be the American in me.
