Unfortunately, there's not -- we don't like to include code for specific applications, because if those apps change anything, our app might stop working. A future version may let the user define filename parameters for pool usage, but it won't be a minor change in the current version.

Hi, I just started using Time Sink and quickly discovered that it doesn't 
quite work with Adobe products (Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign) as these 
apps have variable names in their windows (they show zoom %, color value, 
etc).

I saw someone ask the same question about Indesign, and you suggested 
adding a * to the filename in the Pool. I did, and it worked wonders, but I 
don't want to do this manually for each and every file. Is there any way to 
automate the wildcard option for Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign?

Thanks!
