That's a question, that one has to answer for oneself. I for example created a script which does some tasks with the created standalones after their creation. It took some time to get the script working the way i want it to. Before that script i had to do these tasks manually for each created standalone. Sometimes 3 times, because have to projects i create for Win/Mac/Linux and that several times a month.
So even if it takes not much time after standalone creation, it takes very much time in a month or a year. So the time it took to create the script was much less than i have to spent to manually do the tasks in future.

If you need some help, contact me privately. I am sure we get it working quickly. ;)
