When you add a Reader to a workspace, it has the "Features to Read" option, which allows you to set the start feature and min/max features to read. I think it would be really great if this functionality is also available for the FeatureReader transformer.

In FME 2016.0, we've implemented the Max features to read. The other two settings are noted for a future development. But the beta of FME already has the Max features to read if you want to try it now. And do let us know how important the "min" and the "start" are.
+7That is great news! Is this already available in the beta? Didn't discover it yet, but maybe I should download the latest one first. The Max option is definitely the one I need the most, so that's fine for now. How nice that most of the stuff I need right now is actually being implemented in 2016! :)
Excellent news.
I think "start" can be critically important, though for me only for rare optimisation or subsetting scenarios. Namely when I want to split a dataset up to process only small chunks at a time (i.e. 10,000 units at a time). Often in combination with a workspaceRunner.
I don't think I've *ever* used the "min" though.
