A single Autopipe file

Similar to APC files, it would be much more convenient if Autopipe packaged all essential sub files during an analysis project and created a single file by default. It would ensure that the user does not make a mistake and stores the wrong files. ...

For large AutoPIPE analyses especially, it would be VERY helpful to know how long an AutoPIPE analysis took to run! I think the a log file with the time stamp, what analyses were run, and the total run time would probably be the best option. A pop...
