Monitor an ongoing process and display results (Stopwatch)

Hi @Dustin_Harris ,

This is a really elegant script! Thanks. I'm trying to trigger it on launch of Protools as a way to log work hours, and in an effort to make it visually beautiful, I'm wondering if there's a way to pass the result of the elapsed time to a custom soundflow dialog, essentially bypassing the system.exec display alert. It would basically be identical to what I've got from line 40-44: globalState.danielKassulkeTimer = new Date(); sf.interaction.displayDialog({ title: "Session Time Calculator", prompt: "You were working for HH:MM", icon: "/Users/danielkassulke/Desktop/Clock.png", All attempts I've made so far have sabotaged the pseudo-toggle functionality of the script, meaning that each time I tried triggering the script it would be displaying the 'Timer started' dialog, rather than each trigger being dependent on whether the timer is running or not. Is this possible?

/**
 * @param {number} milliseconds - Convert milliseconds into HH:MM:SS
 * @returns {string} - The formatted duration string
 */
function msToTime(totalMilliseconds) {
  try {
    let minutes = Math.floor(totalMilliseconds / 1000 / 60) % 60;
    let hours = Math.floor(totalMilliseconds / 1000 / 60 / 60);

    /**
     * @param {number} value - Adds leading zeros to single-digit numbers
     * @param {number} length - Total length of the string representation
     * @returns {string} - The number with leading zeros
     */
    function addLeadingZeros(value, length = 2) {
      let valueAsString = value.toString();
      
      while (valueAsString.length < length) {
        valueAsString = '0' + valueAsString;
      }
      
      return valueAsString;
    }


    const minutesString = addLeadingZeros(minutes);
    const hoursString = addLeadingZeros(hours);
    
    return `${hoursString}:${minutesString}`;

  } catch (err) {
    throw `Error in msToTime: ${err}`;
  }
}


function main() {
  if (!globalState.danielKassulkeTimer) {
    
    globalState.danielKassulkeTimer = new Date();
    sf.interaction.displayDialog({
    title: "Session Time Calculator",
    prompt: "Session timer started",
    icon: "/Users/danielkassulke/Desktop/Clock.png",
});

  
  } else {
      
    const now = new Date();
    const elapsedTimeMS = now.valueOf() - globalState.danielKassulkeTimer.valueOf();
    const timeElapsed = msToTime(elapsedTimeMS);



    sf.system.exec({
      commandLine: `
          osascript -e 'display alert "" message "${timeElapsed}"'
      `,
    });

    // Set clipboard
    sf.clipboard.setText({ text: 'You were working for ' + timeElapsed });

    globalState.danielKassulkeTimer = null;
  }
}

main();
