Adobe #793

Open dzg opened 1 year ago

AW only shows me “Adobe After Effects” – and does NOT show the full window title which includes the path to the open project. Same with Premiere Pro.

Any way to add this?

Can you please tweak title to be more elaborate ? TIA

I posted about this here: https://forum.activitywatch.net/t/any-way-to-track-the-window-title-of-adobe-apps/2038

Not sure what to elaborate ... when trying to track time on a given project, if the information tracked is simply "Adobe After Effects" then we have no way of knowing which project was being worked on. We need to know the name of the open file, which is in the title of the window.

E.g., 

"Untitle Project"

See https://mac.filehorse.com/download-adobe-after-effects/screenshots/ for more examples

Thanks!

That would be great.

I noticed some unexpected behaviour with Premiere Pro, where AW does not necesarly track the program (specefically when you use multiple Premiere windows on multiple screens.)
