add filename to the image

[Martin Höhne]

I guess there is the possibility to automatically add the filename to the image (comparable to a scale bar). Either to the image itself or as an overlay. I could not find a solution for this (which is indicative of my beginner status).
Has anyone already a solution for this? Or a hint where to look for it?

Thanks,
Martin

Here is a macro that adds the filename to the image as an overlay. Add it to the StartupMacros file and you will be able to add the filename by pressing "1".

 macro "Add Filename [1]" {
    fontSize = 18;
    x = 10;
    y = fontSize;
    setColor("white")
    setFont("SansSerif", fontSize);
    name = getInfo("image.filename");
    Overlay.remove;
    Overlay.drawString(name, x, y);
    Overlay.show;
 }
