[pmwiki-users] thumblist

This is the number of the (:thumb{list|gallery|}:) as processed by PmWiki from
the page. It is used as a pointer in template trails, supercache, and Lightbox
or potentially other installations.

If you have more than one (:thumblist usetemplate=1:) in the page, each one will
have a different "trail" of its own pictures, and the ?G variable allows this to
be used by more advanced webmasters in other (java)scripts/styles/recipes.

I'm not sure if I understand your question.

(:thumblist usetemplate=1 count=1:) will display the first thumbnail with a link
to the first picture wrapped in the ImageTemplate; as this thumblist contains
one picture, there will be no prev-next links.

Maybe you need to use the link=2 or link=Group.Page parameter:
 (:thumblist link=2 count=1:)

You found it correctly: (:thumblist count=1:)
