we can add this to the file metadata, although it wont happen quickly. We could also add a dictionary capturing meta data to aeon. Both would I feel be helpful

hi @PaulRabich proposed a simple solution here, you can just pull down the characteristics from https://timeseriesclassification.com/aeon-toolkit/metadata.csv or use a function in aeon to do it. Happy to adjust this to suite other use cases if required.
