Stonewolf Studios Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Hey All, I did a cursory search of the forums and didn't come back with much information on the topic. Currently I am a freelancer working mostly in the entertainment industry. I often bill hourly for drawings and pre-viz. I also know that once upon a time VW would allow you to keep a user log of time in the program. Currently I can longer seem to find this file. ( I do have the setting turned on in VW preferences.) Also, does anyone have a good way to parse these files? I am looking for a way to just automate how much time I am spending in a drawing as even when I could find the logs it was a bit cumbersome to track. Basically I would love to be able to have a report spit out: You worked on this drawing for this amount of time, saved this many times. And maybe be search by drawing name, date, or something like it. Hoping someone has a way to do this already. I am actually surprised this isn't a feature built into VW since you can report on just about everything else in software. Many thanks in advance! 'D' Quote Link to comment
