Total Render Time

[Meelis]

Hi

Would this be possible to save render time in flm, so after flm resume, time will be correct?

[Carbonflux]

It is possible and would be a nice feature, the only issue is that it could break backward compatibility with older flm files.

Saving rendertime makes no sense, due it is highly dependent on the power of the machine used, running tasks at rendertime, etc. ....

What are you after? Total wall time spent on the image? CPU time?

What should it say after you've had three PC's rendering for 1 hour networked, you resume and then render 2 hours on one of them while another program is using 30% CPU on the same machine?

In my apartment the fuse goes out quite an often when turning on lights in evening when it gets dark (bad switch maybe).
Then i continue my render from flm.

I'm after the total wall time i guess.

Example: i render 50 hours then comes power outage, render more 50 hours and again power outage.
Now when i resume, then render time wouldnt be 0 but 100 hours and continues from there, and not from 0.

I'd like this just because sometimes, it's fun to know the total wall time your render took.

I have seen several requests for flm compatible breaking changes. Perhaps we could start a wiki page to track them and then set a target version to make them all at once?

Rather than worry about trying to one-shot a bunch of new changes to the film file structure, why not add a generic, extensible block of optional tag/value storage to the film file format? Then you can add new tags without requiring a forklift or necessarily breaking backwards compatibility again (older versions of lux would simply skip unknown tags).
