Tool steps in Jobs cannot use previous step results about els HOT 1 CLOSED

Tasks in Jobs may now use a previous task's Origin information.

When a task capable of being used is defined before the current task that is capable of using a previous task's origins a special entry is added to the Task Origins publisher/subscriber selection combo-box as "From: [task name]" as an option. For that entry to be shown a task must first be defined with a publisher or subscriber and actual Origins.

Only one previous task is cached. Caching all tasks does not make logical sense when defining Jobs and would consume significant memory.

The previous task may also be a task within a sub-Job in the current Job.

Currently only the Renamer tool is capable of passing Origins or using a previous task's Origins. Additional tools may use this feature in the future. This allows multiple Renamer tools to be chained together in a sequence within a Job. After the first Renamer task, with Origins, each subsequent Renamer task can use the previous task's Origins - directory and file paths.
