VFB history custom notes and time

[elindell]

Love the new vfb history feature, would it be possible so that you could add your own custom notes ?  Would be nice to distinguish what the difference is between frames in case it's not obvious. Also, how much time elapsed for each frame in addition to the passes would be useful. Thanks! love 1.4 so far :)

The history entires are VFB dumps. These contain all the meta data, that you can get from renderstamp variables. So if you rendered something and need info, simply enable Render stamp under the system stamp and all history entires will have the render stamp aswell, they are not baked into the image and you have your time epleased aswell.

I fear, that notes will be considered too small a use, to justify UI cluttering, but what I had in mind was a overlay brush, where you can MS Paint cicles with a brush to highlight area, but
 then again, probably not justifying UI clutter.
Alternatively: Maybe make the Date and passes of the History image an editable text filed? Would allow for ~120 chars of comment.

thanks for the info about the time stamps

this is what I was thinking as far as UI

a paint tool would also be handy.

just an idea, thanks.

Also, a separated path for every project.
Now, all .exr are saved in the same path,
And,  when you close 3ds max,  automatically, Corona delete all the history.
