Placeholder names used for file-name expansion

Placeholder names (variables) are available when final (i.e. fully expanded) path and file-names are created or searched for. You can hover the mouse over the receiving variable or name to see a tooltip for what the expanded filename will be. The illustrative screen-shot below show how this looks in the post-render window.
