Folder configuration
Tagstudier allows for easy management of the folders inside the library. While TagStudio itself doesn't encourage touching the inner files, it has a bunch of use cases still:
- Lesser strain on the filesystem, making folders open much faster than if you shove everything into a single one
- Easier organistion when not using TagStudio
- Allows for synchronizing files to other devices without bringing the whole library
This is done by making "Folder rules". A folder rule apply a specific set of rules that tagstudier will apply. Rules are added in a .TagStudio/TSR_folder_rules.toml file.
Order
Here's the order each rules are processed:
- Sorting: Each rule is read and applied top to bottom. Any entry moved by a rule cannot be moved by the next ones. This means that folders containing a subset of another one (Ex: Folder "maxwell" being a subset of folder "cat") needs to be before the more general one
Folder rule syntax
| Name | Required | Format | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| path | Yes | String | The path of the folder the rule target |
| sorting | No | String | What entries should get sorted in the folder. This is a search string. Any entry that appear in this search sting will be moved to this folder. |
Example file
[[folder]]
path = "memes/cat/maxwell"
sorting = "maxwell"
[[folder]]
path = "memes/animals/"
sorting = "(meme cat) or (meme dog)"
