Variables
All variables are between {}. You can cut a part of the text
• {variable [start-end]}
• {variable [start-]}
• {variable [-end]}
eg.
• {Filename} => img_example_105
• {Filename [0-2]} => img
• {Filename [5-]} => example_105
• {Filename [-7]} => img_exam
You can replace a word by another by using [~xxx~xxx]
eg.
• {Filename [~img~out]} => out_example_105
You can hide a variable if the value is empty: ((Model: {EXIF:Model}))
