I'm using PM 5 build 15800. I'm using the PM Classic export and would like to use the filename of the exported image as the title of the thumbnails. However I seem to be missing it or it just does not exist. Specifically, I export without using the original filenames for the images so the image files get named IMG_1, IMG_2, etc. I'd like the title for the thumbnails to be the same as the exported image filenames (i.e. IMG_1, IMG_2, etc.). Can this be done?

There is no built-in way to do that, but since you know the format of the generated image names, you could try to use:

IMG_{index}

as your Thumbnails Title.  Give that a try and see if it works.

Yea, I tried that. All the thumbnail titles on page 1 of the index page were IMG_0, those on page 2 were IMG_10, etc.

OK, sorry, I don't have a solution for you at this time.
