Is there a simple way to get the name of the "authors" of a given file? In the example of the image attached, I want to be able to recognize that for the selected file (e.g. DST_PVT_summary) the person who created the file was Tomas H. Is this possible? The only solution I got was using

Images can contain meta information, e.g. in the IPTC or EXIF sections of JPEGs. If the author is stored there, you can find tools to access them. But e.g. posting the image in an internet forum might remove these sections automatically. Some other file formats can contain information about the source also, e.g. Word Docs, PDFs and text files, but this is optional. This means, that there is no reliable technique to recognize the author of a file.
