How to keep track of which scenes are connected to which renders?

omvendt

When doing a series of renders to illustrate a story, I try to create a new scene for each render. Buut, since I might make several renders per scene, it quickly gets confusing. 
Do you have any tips? Does a tool exist that automatically tracks the scene associated w each render? Even better, that also summarizes the characters, props, clothing and so on, used in the render?

Nothing to automatically save them.  You can always just use one name for a series and then add 01,02,03, and whatever identifying criteria you need.  When I do world building I tale paper notes so I know exactly what I used for each character etc.

If you save to a render Library then there is a Render Info tab that can store notes, though there isn't currently a way to auto-populate it (a script could do the job).

I did not know this thank you.

Thanks, all. I found a script called Wardrobe Helper (WH). It is brilliant and helps with part of my problem. It scans a figure and stores all clothes, the gens (also GP), the hair, ... Then, to restore the actor in a scene, you load the figure, e.g. Victoria, and use the WH to quicly load everything. That way, you just need to connect the render to a scene name and use the same name in the WH file system. Sonja, you might use this to get rid of some paper.

Incidentally, if you purchase WH and get frustrated that WH isn't seeing the hair of the model, you have to go to Filter and uncheck "Use Word". I'll post this separately also.

Happy New Year!

Can't a Wearables preset do that too?
