Hi all, I can't understand how to change the name project created automatically by the wakatime sketch plugin. Can you explain me step-by-step? I cannot find the wakatime config file.. or I don't understand the FAQ. Thanks!

WakaTime tracks your Sketch usage based on the current file you are editing, so to prevent a file/project from being tracked you must exclude that file's path. To exclude a file path you create an exclusion rule in your ~/.wakatime.cfg file (located in your home folder) that matches some part of the file's full path. For example, if you're editing a drawing saved to /Users/me/Dropbox/my-project/drawing1.sketch then your rule could match the project part of that file path like this:

[settings]
api_key = <api key>
exclude =
    /Dropbox/my-project/

That would prevent tracking any files inside your Dropbox/my-project/ folder. Here are some more examples: https://github.com/wakatime/wakatime#configuring

To rename a project, the easiest way is to create an empty file inside your project's folder named .wakatime.project. Then type the new project name as the first line of that file. For example, if you created a .wakatime-project file at /Users/me/Dropbox/my-project/.wakatime-project with the first line: ProjectZ Then all files you edit which are inside the my-project folder will be logged to a project named ProjectZ.

How would I go about setting a .wakatime-project file for each of my Sketch files, in a way that would not have me waste an hour

alanhamlett commented 7 years ago

You shouldn't create a .wakatime-project for each Sketch file, only one for each project/client. The way you do that is use one folder per project/client and put all your Sketch files for that client into that project folder. Then you only need to create one .wakatime-project file per project/client.

Instead of using a .wakatime-project file you can also track your project/client folder using Git. When using Git, the top folder in Git is used as the project's name. The good thing about Git is you can use branches to designate tasks or work items, and then filter by them on the project's dashboard on wakatime.com.

Hi. I changed the name of a project without any problem, but now I have two projects with the same code. I don't want the oldest appears on my Dashboard anymore and I wish the newest shows the total coding activity. Is it possible to transfer my active coding from the oldest to the newest project?

Thanks!!

You should rename the project from the website to have the same name as the new project, that way it's merged into the new project: https://wakatime.com/faq#rename-projects
