What exactly part of topic did you mean? Your post has no any hint.

Too difficult to do a time-counter? I think not, MVV.

My mind was global, but yours is specific.
Today we add time-counter but tomorrow someone will ask for date counter etc. Good work is to support all usable field types. It doesn't matter if we want to process data dircetly or to pass values to some kind of plugin (in this case we need to think out its interface).

BTW, it is not so hard to realize some sort of separate tool that will get just filelist from TC panel and format string and will call TC's WDX plugins for each file in order to get needed fields even if they aren't in TC panel columns.

If someone wanted a Date counter that's just another format of Time
As far as a separate "Tool" is concerned... the problem becomes (as far as I know) dealing with what is "selected" and what is not. TC doesn't use standard Forms so you can't do the normal Windows queries into a list to retrieve which is selected. So you have to use a button's parameters (i.e. %S) or TC's Clipboard commands.

It shouldn't be difficult if one was so inclined to write such a tool that allows one to define an input format-string and an output-format string -- with perhaps a couple basic definitions on how the input should be manipulated (i.e Time Values, Integer, Etc)

The only major annoyance I've run into with this is the StatusBar is not changeable (nor the LocationField - to the left of command-line).

I am planning to write my own tools, but this is a nice script
I didn't know that AHK was so powerful.
