If the image was constructed from input files named IMG_9713 through IMG_9765, then {mininp:2} will be "G_9713" instead of just "13". {mininp:0} will be the entire name of the first file, "IMG_9713". | + | * //{mininp://#//}// like {mininp}, except that at most only # characters will be truncated from the full file names. If the image was constructed from input files named IMG_9713 through IMG_9765, then {mininp:2} will be "G_9713" instead of just "13". In most cases, {mininp:0} will be the entire name of the first file, "IMG_9713". However, if every one of the input file names has the same string of characters on its trailing end (a "common suffix"), that that string will always be deleted. For example, {mininp:0} of IMG_0001_RustyNail.JPG through IMG_0016_RustyNail.JPG will be simply IMG_0001. At this time there is no way to force a common suffix to be retained. |
| * //{maxinp}// similar to {mininp}, except the maximum number. Note that maxinp does not accept a :#chars argument. Instead, {maxinp} inherits the argument from {mininp}, if there is one. Also note that //{mininp}// and //{maxinp}// are designed to work with numbers that have been zero-filled to a constant length, for example "Image-001" through "Image-247" and not "Image-1" through 'Image-247". | * //{maxinp}// similar to {mininp}, except the maximum number.
