Thingiverse & MyMiniFactory Meta Data
It would be nice if there was some meta data brought in with a model added to my cloud.astroprint.com account with the model itself. For example, I have a model I added named "batim-penholder.stl" and I wanted to go back to where I found it, but because all I had was that stl filename, I had to open a new tab, and google the filename to find out that I got the model from MyMiniFactory, instead of Thingiverse. I was searching for the model on Thingiverse. Seeing the meta data, and having things such as the name of the site I downloaded it from, the name of the art "Bendy Stylus Holder" and the artist "Tanya Wiesner" easily available without having to go back to google to look for it all over again could be useful and save time. I think that touches like that make a piece of software "great" rather than just "good".

yes!
lots can be done with the metadata once we have it too. i'd like to see:
- have any of the files changed online since they were copied to my AB account?
- are there print/processing instructions provided for a print?
- can we load ALL file from a thingiverse/etc "thing" into a single NEW project in AB, named according to the "thing" name online?
