Write metadata to file in folder
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It would be really nice to have a files tags, name, links, creator and such stored in a file (yaml or similar) in each models directory. This would be taking more of an "Infrastructure as code" approach and would make a database failiure considerably less painful!
Describe the solution you'd like
I'd love a setting that would read/write to/from a .modelinfo.yaml to fully contain the models info.
Describe alternatives you've considered Shell scripts/CI jobs that would interact with an API (does not exist yet) to consume this data.
Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.
Yes, I really like this idea, and it's useful to see it come from someone else too. I did some thinking about the package format a while back in #1040. I do like this idea for disaster recovery if the database is lost, as well as distribution of files by creators.
I'd be more than happy to help in any way I can for this. Having a standardised metadata setup would help me massively.
We have this now, including reading the data back in during upload and scan!
