You can use mask only in one place; i.e., you cannot use it in both project name and image name.

The following substitutions can be used in file names:

• {PROJECT_PATH} - path to the project file.
• {PROJECT_FILE} - project file base name (without extension);
• {PROJECT_PATH_FILE} - path/name of the project file;
• {PROJECT_WILDCARD} - wildcard part of the file name (the part under the asterisk if a mask is used in the file name to process multiple projects);
• {PROJECT_PATH_WILDCARD} - path/wildcard part of the project file name.

If you use mask in an image file name, the following substitutions can be used in other image file names:

• {IMAGE_PATH} - path to image file.
• {IMAGE_FILE} - image file base name (without extension);
• {IMAGE_EXT} - image file extension;
• {IMAGE_PATH_FILE} - path/name of the image file;
• {IMAGE_WILDCARD} - wildcard part of the file name (the part under the asterisk);
• {IMAGE_PATH_WILDCARD} - path/wildcard part of the image file name.

Please note: if the file path contains spaces, you must enclose it in quotes. This also applies to the project path and covers. Examples:

• Sample of the path to CoverCommander.exe:
  
  "C:\Program Files (x86)\Insofta Cover Commander\CoverCommander.exe"
  
  
• "_Path_\CoverCommander.exe" -b c:\work\screenshot.cpj
  
  
• "_Path_\CoverCommander.exe" -b c:\work\screenshot.cpj -front c:\work\ss\*.png -result {IMAGE_FILE}_res.png
  
  
• "_Path_\CoverCommander.exe" -b c:\work\two_screenshots.cpj -front c:\work\first_ss\*.png -front_2 c:\work\second_ss\{IMAGE_FILE}.png -result c:\work\result_ss\{IMAGE_FILE}.png
  
  
• "_Path_\CoverCommander.exe" -b c:\work\*.cpj
  
  
• In the last example, image file "{PROJECT_PATH}{PROJECT_FILE}_res.png" will be substituted by "c:\work\books\book1_res.png" for project "c:\work\books\book1.cpj":
  
  "_Path_\CoverCommander.exe" -b c:\work\*.cpj -r -result {PROJECT_PATH}{PROJECT_FILE}_res.png
  
  
• In this example, the strings "Year" for "New Year" and "2017" for "2018" will be replaced:
  
  "_Path_\CoverCommander.exe" -b c:\work\menu.cpj -find "Year||2017" -text "New year||2018"
