Paired Image Loader
Production node ID: PortraitPairedLoaderPreview. The retired
PairedImageLoader ID is no longer registered. The production loader retries
failed pairs without advancing and uses per-instance cursors.
Details.
Actual inputs and outputs
Inputs are source_dir, output_dir, reverse, and
strip_trailing_numbers. Directories can be absolute or relative to the process
working directory. Matching is case-insensitive by basename. Different
extensions can match; natural sorting puts image2 before image10. A trailing
(n) marker is ignored for matching only when requested.
Outputs, in order: output_image, source_image, filename (the actual source stem without its extension). Each execution advances one pair and wraps; reverse steps backward. There is no pattern template, shuffle, singleton output, auto-next/loop switch, or index socket; previous documentation claiming those features was inaccurate.
The cursor commits only after both files decode. Decoding uses the color/precision-aware Photo Loader engine.
