If the Shortcuts App doesn’t have a specific function that you need, there are other elements that can be added to Shortcuts than can extend its native capability (e.g., Toolbox Pro for Shortcuts in the App Store - see ). Yes, if you’re unfamiliar with Shortcuts, there will be a learning curve - but think of the benefit to you in having achieved your goal - and the potential benefit to our common body of knowledge if you choose to share the fruit of your leaning and/or your eventual creation.? Don’t forget, there are other sources of Shortcuts outside of the official Gallery (such as ). Clearly, we can’t see what you can, or write the Shortcut for you - but from your description you have a really good idea of the output you need given a very specific set of input criteria. You might have to write a new (or modify/refine an existing) shortcut yourself.
Given your requirements, it is highly likely that there isn’t a ready-made tool that precisely fits your requirement - but, again, with a little work on your part, that’s where the Shortcuts App may help you. There was never any form of rebuke intended - mild or otherwise - just some guidance towards something that what was intended to be constructively helpful.
