Refering variables

[vAfotoriporter]

Is there any (public) way to have a variable of the previous/next file in a selection?

I would like to have the text exporter generate me the body of a HTML gallery and for the most part it is quite capable but such a variable would be needed to be linked to point to the previous/next image.

I know PM has some built in HTML templates which I often use but for this purpose I have to stick to the allready used look of the page my images are going to be uploaded.

In 4.6 you'll be able to take your own HTML designs and mark them up with Photo Mechanic variables, including some HTML template specific variables that will allow you to reference (link to) the next or previous images.

I have no solution for you in 4.5.x.

Thanks Kirk it is good to hear that! Is there an estimate for launching 4.6?

Until then I think a code replacement solution exists creating file lists shifted one row so a replacement of a filename would result returning the next filename as a reference.

I do not have a release date for you.
