I've read the documentation for ImageQuantity but I'm not sure how it works.
If I run the example with 1.63 it doesn't seem to limit the number of images.

The quantity is the size of the array contain that image pointers live in. This is only really relevant if the user assigns indexs manually

Ie.

 CreateImage 100,width,height   ; this would allocate cell 100 in the image array container.

 In this situation, it's conceivably possible to run out of indexs (since the container has a default size), hence we'd use ImageQuantity to expand/contract the image container.

For people using dynamic media creation, it's completely irrelevant.

i.e.

 MyImage=NewImage(Width,Height)

 In this situation PB will take care of the image containers quantity for us, returning a new Image Index every time.
