Allow to give variants a description

Not currently planned
Permanently deleted user

When I create a variant, it usually is for a purpose. It would be helpful to be able to attach a note of that purpose to a variant, so that the note is visible in the browser.

Examples:

I often have one variant that contains the basic edit of an image. In addition I have variants that contain adjustments targeted at different output media like fineart print - book - web. In contrast to say a B&W edit, the differences are not easily discernible in the browser and a textual description in addition to the sequential number would make life easier.

    Jakob, this is very good news! And when the developers are diving into the code, please let them also look to a way to get the information printed alongside the image. Thank you.

    Hi Alexander and Jakob,

    regarding this scenario, I was also looking for a token / variable, which can be used to rename the output filename, so that it includes at least the clone- / version id [n]. I didn't find anything and it would be very helpful to have this as a reference between output file and the version.

    Thanks and best regards, Olaf

    I don’t need a full description, but an easily-accessible variant name (that could be used as an export token) would be really useful.

    Thanks Thomas Kyhn (I did try that, but it doesn't seem to work on my iPad 🥹)
