The "Metadata panel" shows all the useful existing keys:

Canvas MetaData Panel, scene_# and scene_name keys are personal

Part of the keys is created and stored for each new Canvas like "grid_snap" or "guide_show".

A description of the keys is given below:

  • "grid_color": sets the Color of the Grid. It's defined by three values for Red, Green and Blue in the range [0,1] separated by a space (e.g. "0,5 0,5 1").
  • "guide_snap": sets if Snapping to Guides is enabled ("1") or not ("0").
  • "jack_offset": sets the Jack synchronization offset time.
  • "background_size": sets the Checkerboard Background "x" and "y" size in pixels.
  • "background_first_color": sets the Checkerboard Background first color. It's defined by three values for Red, Green and Blue in the range [0,1] separated by a space (e.g. "0,5 0,5 0,5").
  • "background_second_color": sets the Checkerboard Background second color. It's defined by three values for Red, Green and Blue in the range [0,1] separated by a space (e.g. "0,1 0,1 0,1").

The unit used in the "Metadata panel" for "guide_x", "guide_y" and "grid_size" keys, are Synfig units.

You can add other personal keys. For example, you can add the scene number or the author. Those personal keys will only be stored in the file without any explicit usage by Synfig.
