      Thanks Vallo for your response.

      But there are .ini file where needs to put all the image reference text (like a syntax for each image) in this file which is not possible due to huge quantities of images.

      If there will be only text entries without any syntax that would be great.

      Please experts response on this.

      Thanks, Amit
