Plugin search + plugin request

kierovnick

Two topics in one to be brief.

I am SURE that i saw a plugin that was taking all bezier and non-bezier curves together to one nice and clean toolbar with shiny icons just begging to be used. I can't find it anywhere now. I have tried in google, in this forum, on Omustard and CRAI Library Depot and i begin to belive that my blind spot could have enlarge a bit lately.
Help.
I am wondering if anyone saw a plugin i personally think should exist (someone just HAD to make it, even if i haven't seen one yet). A plug that would keep track of my workflow.
Plugin i think about should do only two simple things.
a) Should keep track of time i am spending on every single project. As far as i keep my project in one file this shouldn't be hard.
b) Along with counting the time it could gather simple data about model itself, like filesize changes, amount of geometry, textures used.

All data could be saved in separate txt file, preferably with option to save dta file in same folder as skp file... or all files in one storage folder (like in "google/sketchup/workflowdata" or some like this..
First option is nice because it's logical. Files are kept together so you can transfer them together etc. Second way to store data is good because if you don't need to bring your work with you to other machines, you could forget that data file exists.. it would just apply the data file to skp file that matches name and size (and maybe some other data like "last time mdified" to avoid mistakes... just idea) and this way you could move your file between folders without worying about the rest.

This plug would make my life just a bit better and i finally could tell how much i spent on certain model.. because usually i work on more than one project at a time.

Does it exist and if not.. could it be created?

EDIT

1-st problem i have resolved by myself. No need to search anything.
2-nd question stays and i don't think i could find answer to this without help.

There is a Time Track plugin at Smustard. It does not exactly does all your wishes though:

That workflow extension would be great, but talk about your baggage. Would this not load the file up? or is there some way to port it out to a related file that would be called for recordation, but would not need to be integral with the skp
Naaah. Who would want that? (thinly veiled challenge)

Don't ask me, I do not have that plugin nor I know what and how could anything be added as I what I know about scripting is somewhat similar to what a hen knows about the alphabet as we say it here.

Oh... thank You for the advice on the TimeTrack ruby.
But to be honest i was hoping that someone will take my idea and write a script that does the things i was writing about.
Guess i'll have to use TimeTrack... even if it's not entirely thing i was looking for.
/me turns around pretending to be ready to walk away yet hoping that someone will stop /me with words "Wait! I can do this!"

Hi,

For the Bezier and non Bezier curves, see BezierSpline
Your idea of automatic tracking time by model is excellent. This is not so simple with the current Ruby API, but it can be done.
