-## [9.5.0] - 2025-03-03
-

-- feat: add autocomplete for search engine by [@python357-1](https://github.com/python357-1) in [#586](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/pull/586)
-
-#### Replaced "Tag Fields" with Tag Categories
-
-Instead of tags needing to be added to a tag field type such as "Meta Tags", "Content Tags", or just the "Tags" field, tags are now added directly to file entries with no intermediary step. While tag field types offered a way to further organize tags, it was cumbersome, inflexible, and simply not fully fleshed out. Tag Categories offer all of the previous (intentional) functionality while greatly increasing the ease of use and customization.

-
-### Added
-
-#### Custom User-Created Tag Colors ([@CyanVoxel](https://github.com/CyanVoxel) in [#801](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/pull/801))
-
-Create your own custom tag colors via the new Tag Color Manager! Tag colors are assigned a namespace (group) and include a name, primary color, and optional secondary color. By default the secondary color is used for the tag text color, but this can also be toggled to apply to the border color as well!

-### Internal Changes
-
-This release increases the internal `DB_VERSION` to 8. Libraries created with this version of TagStudio can still be opened in earlier v9.5.0 pre-release versions, however the behavior of custom color borders will not be identical to the behavior in this PR. Otherwise it should still be possible to use any custom colors created in this version in these earlier pre-releases (but not really recommended).

-##### [#784](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/pull/784) by [@CyanVoxel](https://github.com/CyanVoxel)
-
-- The "use for disambiguation" button has been moved to the right-hand side of parent tags in order to prevent accidental clicks involving the left-hand "remove tag" button
-- Add "Create & Add" button to the bottom of all non-whitespace searches, even if they return some tags
-- The awkward "+" button next to tags in the "Add Tags" panel has been removed in favor of clicking on tags themselves
-- Improved visual feedback for highlighting, keyboard focusing, and clicking tags
-- The clickable area of the "-" button on tags has been increased and has visual feedback when you hover and click it
-- You can now tab into the tag search list and add tags with a spacebar press (previously possible but very janky)
-- In tag search panels, pressing the Esc key will return your focus to the search bar and highlight your previous query. If the search box is already highlighted, pressing Esc will close the modal
-- In modals such as the "Add Tag" and "Edit Tag" panels, pressing Esc will cancel the operation and close the modal

-#### Replaced "Tag Fields" with Tag Categories
-
-Instead of tags needing to be added to a tag field type such as "Meta Tags", "Content Tags", or just the "Tags" field, tags are now added directly to file entries with no intermediary step. While tag field types offered a way to further organize tags, it was cumbersome, inflexible, and simply not fully fleshed out. Tag Categories offer all of the previous (intentional) functionality while greatly increasing the ease of use and customization.

-#### SQLite Save File Format

-# Contributing to TagStudio
-
-_Last Updated: March 8th, 2025_
-
-Thank you so much for showing interest in contributing to TagStudio! Here are a set of instructions and guidelines for contributing code or documentation to the project. This document will change over time, so make sure that your contributions still line up with the requirements here before submitting a pull request.
-
-## Getting Started
-
-- Check the [Feature Roadmap](/docs/updates/roadmap.md) page to see what priority features there are, the [FAQ](/README.md/#faq), as well as the project's [Issues](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/issues) and [Pull Requests](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/pulls).
-- If you'd like to add a feature that isn't on the feature roadmap or doesn't have an open issue, **PLEASE create a feature request** issue for it discussing your intentions so any feedback or important information can be given by the team first.
- - We don't want you wasting time developing a feature or making a change that can't/won't be added for any reason ranging from pre-existing refactors to design philosophy differences.
-- **Please don't** create pull requests that consist of large refactors, _especially_ without discussing them with us first. These end up doing more harm than good for the project by continuously delaying progress and disrupting everyone else's work.
-- If you wish to discuss TagStudio further, feel free to join the [Discord Server](https://discord.com/invite/hRNnVKhF2G)!
-
-### Contribution Checklist
-
-- I've read the [Feature Roadmap](/docs/updates/roadmap.md) page
-- I've read the [FAQ](/README.md/#faq), including the "[Features I Likely Won't Add/Pull](/README.md/#features-i-likely-wont-addpull)" section
-- I've checked the project's [Issues](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/issues) and [Pull Requests](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/pulls)
-- **I've created a new issue for my feature/fix _before_ starting work on it**, or have at least notified others in the relevant existing issue(s) of my intention to work on it
-- I've set up my development environment including Ruff, Mypy, and PyTest
-- I've read the [Code Guidelines](#code-guidelines) and/or [Documentation Guidelines](#documentation-guidelines)
-- **_I mean it, I've found or created an issue for my feature/fix!_**
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> If the fix is small and self-explanatory (i.e. a typo), then it doesn't require an issue to be opened first. Issue tracking is supposed to make our lives easier, not harder. Please use your best judgement to minimize the amount of work for everyone involved.
-
-## Creating a Development Environment
-
-If you wish to develop for TagStudio, you'll need to create a development environment by installing the required dependencies. You have a number of options depending on your level of experience and familiarly with existing Python toolchains.
-
-If you know what you're doing and have developed for Python projects in the past, you can get started quickly with the "Brief Instructions" below. Otherwise, please see the full instructions on the documentation website for "[Creating a Development Environment](https://docs.tagstud.io/install/#creating-a-development-environment)".
-
-### Brief Instructions
-
-1. Have [Python 3.12](https://www.python.org/downloads/) and PIP installed. Also have [FFmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/download.html) installed if you wish to have audio/video playback and thumbnails.
-2. Clone the repository to the folder of your choosing:
- ```
- git clone https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio.git
- ```
-3. Use a dependency manager such as [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) or [Poetry 2.0](https://python-poetry.org/blog/category/releases/) to install the required dependencies, or alternatively create and activate a [virtual environment](https://docs.tagstud.io/install/#manual-installation) with `venv`.
-
-4. If using a virtual environment instead of a dependency manager, install an editable version of the program and development dependencies with the following PIP command:
-
- ```
- pip install -e ".[dev]"
- ```
-
- Otherwise, modify the command above for use with your dependency manager of choice. For example if using uv, you may use this:
-
- ```
- uv pip install -e ".[dev]"
- ```
-
-## Workflow Checks
-
-When pushing your code, several automated workflows will check it against predefined tests and style checks. It's _highly recommended_ that you run these checks locally beforehand to avoid having to fight back-and-forth with the workflow checks inside your pull requests.
-
-> [!TIP]
-> To format the code automatically before each commit, there's a configured action available for the `pre-commit` hook. Install it by running `pre-commit install`. The hook will be executed each time on running `git commit`.
-
-### [Ruff](https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff)
-
-A Python linter and code formatter. Ruff uses the `pyproject.toml` as its config file and runs whenever code is pushed or pulled into the project.
-
-#### Running Locally
-
-Inside the root repository directory:
-
-- Lint code with `ruff check`
- - Some linting suggestions can be automatically formatted with `ruff check --fix`
-- Format code with `ruff format`
-
-Ruff should automatically discover the configuration options inside the [pyproject.toml](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/blob/main/pyproject.toml) file. For more information, see the [ruff configuration discovery docs](https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/configuration/#config-file-discovery).
-
-Ruff is also available as a VS Code [extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=charliermarsh.ruff), PyCharm [plugin](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/20574-ruff), and [more](https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/integrations/).
-
-### [Mypy](https://github.com/python/mypy)
-
-Mypy is a static type checker for Python. It sure has a lot to say sometimes, but we recommend you take its advice when possible. Mypy also uses the `pyproject.toml` as its config file and runs whenever code is pushed or pulled into the project.
-
-#### Running Locally
-
-- **(First time only)** Run the following:
- - `mkdir -p .mypy_cache`
- - `mypy --install-types --non-interactive`
-- You can now check code by running `mypy --config-file pyproject.toml .` in the repository root. _(Don't forget the "." at the end!)_
-
-Mypy is also available as a VS Code [extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=matangover.mypy), PyCharm [plugin](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/11086-mypy), and [more](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/11086-mypy).
-
-### PyTest
-
-- Run all tests by running `pytest tests/` in the repository root.
-
-## Code Style
-See the [Style Guide](/STYLE.md)
-
-### Modules & Implementations
-
-- **Do not** modify legacy library code in the `src/core/library/json/` directory
-- Avoid direct calls to `os`
- - Use `Pathlib` library instead of `os.path`
- - Use `platform.system()` instead of `os.name` and `sys.platform`
-- Don't prepend local imports with `tagstudio`, stick to `src`
-- Use the `logger` system instead of `print` statements
-- Avoid nested f-strings
-- Use HTML-like tags inside Qt widgets over stylesheets where possible
-
-### Commit and Pull Request Style
-
-- Use [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0) as a guideline for commit messages. This allows us to easily generate changelogs for releases.
- - See some [examples](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/#examples) of what this looks like in practice.
-- Use clear and concise commit messages. If your commit does too much, either consider breaking it up into smaller commits or providing extra detail in the commit description.
-- Pull requests should have an adequate title and description which clearly outline your intentions and changes/additions. Feel free to provide screenshots, GIFs, or videos, especially for UI changes.
-- Pull requests should ideally be limited to **a single** feature or fix.
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> Please do not force push if your PR is open for review!
->
-> Force pushing makes it impossible to discern which changes have already been reviewed and which haven't. This means a reviewer will then have to re-review all the already reviewed code, which is a lot of unnecessary work for reviewers.
-
-> [!TIP]
-> If you're unsure where to stop the scope of your PR, ask yourself: _"If I broke this up, could any parts of it still be used by the project in the meantime?"_
-
-### Runtime Requirements
-
-- Final code must function on supported versions of Windows, macOS, and Linux:
- - Windows: 10, 11
- - macOS: 13.0+
- - Linux: _Varies_
-- Final code must **_NOT:_**
- - Contain superfluous or unnecessary logging statements
- - Cause unreasonable slowdowns to the program outside of a progress-indicated task
- - Cause undesirable visual glitches or artifacts on screen
-
-## Documentation Guidelines
-
-Documentation contributions include anything inside of the `docs/` folder, as well as the `README.md` and `CONTRIBUTING.md` files. Documentation inside the `docs/` folder is built and hosted on our static documentation site, [docs.tagstud.io](https://docs.tagstud.io/).
-
-- Use "[snake_case](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Snake_case)" for file and folder names
-- Follow the folder structure pattern
-- Don't add images or other media with excessively large file sizes
-- Provide alt text for all embedded media
-- Use "[Title Case](https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/capitalization/title-case)" for title capitalization
-
-## Translation Guidelines
-
-Translations are performed on the TagStudio [Weblate project](https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/tagstudio/).
-
-_Translation guidelines coming soon._

-# Code Style
-
-Most of the style guidelines can be checked, fixed, and enforced via Ruff. Older code may not be adhering to all of these guidelines, in which case _"do as I say, not as I do"..._
-
-- Do your best to write clear, concise, and modular code.
- - This should include making methods private by default (e.g. `__method()`)
- - Methods should only be protected (e.g. `_method()`) or public (e.g. `method()`) when needed and warranted
-- Keep a maximum column width of no more than **100** characters.
-- Code comments should be used to help describe sections of code that can't speak for themselves.
-- Use [Google style](https://google.github.io/styleguide/pyguide.html#s3.8-comments-and-docstrings) docstrings for any classes and functions you add.
- - If you're modifying an existing function that does _not_ have docstrings, you don't _have_ to add docstrings to it... but it would be pretty cool if you did ;)
-- Imports should be ordered alphabetically.
-- Lists of values should be ordered using their [natural sort order](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_sort_order).
- - Some files have their methods ordered alphabetically as well (i.e. [`thumb_renderer`](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/blob/main/src/tagstudio/qt/widgets/thumb_renderer.py)). If you're working in a file and notice this, please try and keep to the pattern.
-- When writing text for window titles or form titles, use "[Title Case](https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/capitalization/title-case)" capitalization. Your IDE may have a command to format this for you automatically, although some may incorrectly capitalize short prepositions. In a pinch you can use a website such as [capitalizemytitle.com](https://capitalizemytitle.com/) to check.
-- If it wasn't mentioned above, then stick to [**PEP-8**](https://peps.python.org/pep-0008/)!

-## QT
-As of writing this section, the QT part of the code base is quite unstructured and the View and Controller parts are completely intermixed[^1]. This makes maintenance, fixes and general understanding of the code base quite challenging, because the interesting parts you are looking for are entangled in a bunch of repetitive UI setup code. To address this we are aiming to more strictly separate the view and controller aspects of the QT frontend.
-
-The general structure of the QT code base should look like this:
-```
-qt
-├── controllers
-│ ├── widgets
-│ │ └── preview_panel_controller.py
-│ └── main_window_controller.py
-├── views
-│ ├── widgets
-│ │ └── preview_panel_view.py
-│ └── main_window_view.py
-├── ts_qt.py
-└── mixed.py
-```
-
-In this structure there are the `views` and `controllers` sub-directories. They have the exact same structure and for every `_view.py` there is a `_controller.py` at the same location in the other subdirectory and vice versa.
-
-Typically the classes should look like this:
-```py
-# my_cool_widget_view.py
-class MyCoolWidgetView(QWidget):
- def __init__(self):
- super().__init__()
- self.__button = QPushButton()
- self.__color_dropdown = QComboBox()
- # ...
- self.__connect_callbacks()
-
- def __connect_callbacks(self):
- self.__button.clicked.connect(self._button_click_callback)
- self.__color_dropdown.currentIndexChanged.connect(
- lambda idx: self._color_dropdown_callback(self.__color_dropdown.itemData(idx))
- )
-
- def _button_click_callback(self):
- raise NotImplementedError()
-```
-```py
-# my_cool_widget_controller.py
-class MyCoolWidget(MyCoolWidgetView):
- def __init__(self):
- super().__init__()
-
- def _button_click_callback(self):
- print("Button was clicked!")
-
- def _color_dropdown_callback(self, color: Color):
- print(f"The selected color is now: {color}")
-```
-
-Observe the following key aspects of this example:
-- The Controller is just called `MyCoolWidget` instead of `MyCoolWidgetController` as it will be directly used by other code
-- The UI elements are in private variables
- - This enforces that the controller shouldn't directly access UI elements
- - Instead the view should provide a protected API (e.g. `_get_color()`) for things like setting/getting the value of a dropdown, etc.
- - Instead of `_get_color()` there could also be a `_color` method marked with `@property`
-- The callback methods are already defined as protected methods with NotImplementedErrors
- - Defines the interface the callbacks
- - Enforces that UI events be handled
-
-> [!TIP]
-> A good (non-exhaustive) rule of thumb is: If it requires a non-UI import, then it doesn't belong in the `*_view.py` file.

+## 9.5.4 [September 1st, 2025]
+
+### Added
+
+#### `.ts_ignore` File and Folder Ignore System
+
+The previous system for ignoring file extensions has been replaced by a new `.gitignore`-style pattern matching system. This uses a `.ts_ignore` file inside your library's `.TagStudio` folder with glob-like rules to give more power options than what was previously possible. This file can be edited inside within TagStudio or externally, and rules are hot-reloaded in either case. Existing extension rules have been migrated as closely as possible to this new system. For more information on this new system, visit the "[Ignore Files](https://docs.tagstud.io/utilities/ignore/)" page on the documentation site.
+
+
+
+Along with this system also comes the additional features:
+
+- TagStudio can now traverse symlinks in your library folders
+- TagStudio can now leverage [ripgrep](https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep), a rust-based directory search tool, for faster library refreshing
+ - ripgrep must be [installed on your system](https://docs.tagstud.io/install/#ripgrep) and able to be located by TagStudio
+
+##### Pull Requests:
+
+- feat: add `.ts_ignore` pattern ignoring system by @CyanVoxel in #897
+- feat: replace extension exclusion system with `.ts_ignore` by @CyanVoxel in #1046
+
+#### Library Information Window
+
+A new "Library Information" window has been added and is accessible under the "View" window. This window includes statistics about your currently opened library, as well as convenient access to library cleanup tools. This includes a new tool to cleanup "ignored files", which are files that have been previously added to your library but now no longer meet the ignore pattern rules.
+
+

+## 9.5.0 [March 3rd, 2025]
+
+
+
+### Added
+
+#### Overhauled Search Engine
+
+##### Boolean Operators
+
+- feat: implement query language by [@Computerdores](https://github.com/Computerdores) in [#606](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/pull/606)
+- feat: optimize AND queries by [@Computerdores](https://github.com/Computerdores) in [#679](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/pull/679)
+
+##### Filetype, Mediatype, and Glob Path + Smartcase Searches
+
+- fix: remove wildcard requirement for tags by [@Tyrannicodin](https://github.com/Tyrannicodin) in [#481](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/pull/481)
+- feat: add filetype and mediatype searches by [@python357-1](https://github.com/python357-1) in [#575](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/pull/575)

+- feat: add autocomplete for search engine by [@python357-1](https://github.com/python357-1) in [#586](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/pull/586)
+
+#### Replaced "Tag Fields" with Tag Categories
+
+Instead of tags needing to be added to a tag field type such as "Meta Tags", "Content Tags", or just the "Tags" field, tags are now added directly to file entries with no intermediary step. While tag field types offered a way to further organize tags, it was cumbersome, inflexible, and simply not fully fleshed out. Tag Categories offer all of the previous (intentional) functionality while greatly increasing the ease of use and customization.
+

+
+### Added
+
+#### Custom User-Created Tag Colors ([@CyanVoxel](https://github.com/CyanVoxel) in [#801](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/pull/801))
+
+Create your own custom tag colors via the new Tag Color Manager! Tag colors are assigned a namespace (group) and include a name, primary color, and optional secondary color. By default the secondary color is used for the tag text color, but this can also be toggled to apply to the border color as well!
+
+
+
+
+#### Translations
+
+TagStudio now has official translation support! Head to the new settings panel and select from one of the initial languages included. Note that many languages currently have incomplete translations.

+
+### Internal Changes
+
+This release increases the internal `DB_VERSION` to 8. Libraries created with this version of TagStudio can still be opened in earlier v9.5.0 pre-release versions, however the behavior of custom color borders will not be identical to the behavior in this PR. Otherwise it should still be possible to use any custom colors created in this version in these earlier pre-releases (but not really recommended).

+- You can now tab into the tag search list and add tags with a spacebar press (previously possible but very janky)
+- In tag search panels, pressing the Esc key will return your focus to the search bar and highlight your previous query. If the search box is already highlighted, pressing Esc will close the modal
+- In modals such as the "Add Tag" and "Edit Tag" panels, pressing Esc will cancel the operation and close the modal

+## 9.5.0-pr1 [January 31st, 2025]
+
+### Added
+
+#### Overhauled Search Engine
+
+##### Boolean Operators
+
+- feat: implement query language by [@Computerdores](https://github.com/Computerdores) in [#606](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/pull/606)
+- feat: optimize AND queries by [@Computerdores](https://github.com/Computerdores) in [#679](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/pull/679)
+
+##### Filetype, Mediatype, and Glob Path Searches
+
+- fix: remove wildcard requirement for tags by [@Tyrannicodin](https://github.com/Tyrannicodin) in [#481](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/pull/481)

+
+- feat: sort by "date added" in library by [@Computerdores](https://github.com/Computerdores) in [#674](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/pull/674)

+- feat: add autocomplete for search engine by [@python357-1](https://github.com/python357-1) in [#586](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/pull/586)
+
+#### Replaced "Tag Fields" with Tag Categories
+
+Instead of tags needing to be added to a tag field type such as "Meta Tags", "Content Tags", or just the "Tags" field, tags are now added directly to file entries with no intermediary step. While tag field types offered a way to further organize tags, it was cumbersome, inflexible, and simply not fully fleshed out. Tag Categories offer all of the previous (intentional) functionality while greatly increasing the ease of use and customization.

+
+Thank you so much for showing interest in contributing to TagStudio! Here are a set of instructions and guidelines for contributing code or documentation to the project. This document will change over time, so make sure that your contributions still line up with the requirements here before submitting a pull request.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+- Check the [Feature Roadmap](roadmap.md) page to see what priority features there are, the [FAQ](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/blob/main/README.md#faq), as well as the project's [Issues](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/issues) and [Pull Requests](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/pulls).
+- If you'd like to add a feature that isn't on the feature roadmap or doesn't have an open issue, **PLEASE create a feature request** issue for it discussing your intentions so any feedback or important information can be given by the team first.
+ - We don't want you wasting time developing a feature or making a change that can't/won't be added for any reason ranging from pre-existing refactors to design philosophy differences.
+- **Please don't** create pull requests that consist of large refactors, _especially_ without discussing them with us first. These end up doing more harm than good for the project by continuously delaying progress and disrupting everyone else's work.
+- If you wish to discuss TagStudio further, feel free to join the [Discord Server](https://discord.com/invite/hRNnVKhF2G)!
+
+### Contribution Checklist
+
+- I've read the [Feature Roadmap](roadmap.md) page
+- I've read the [FAQ](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/blob/main/README.md#faq)
+- I've checked the project's [Issues](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/issues) and [Pull Requests](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/pulls)
+- **I've created a new issue for my feature/fix _before_ starting work on it**, or have at least notified others in the relevant existing issue(s) of my intention to work on it
+- I've set up my development environment including Ruff, Mypy, and PyTest
+- I've read the CONTRIBUTING.md/Contributing page on the documentation site as well as the and/or [Style Guide](style.md)
+- **_I mean it, I've found or created an issue for my feature/fix!_**
+
+
+!!! note
+ If the fix is small and self-explanatory (i.e. a typo), then it doesn't require an issue to be opened first. Issue tracking is supposed to make our lives easier, not harder. Please use your best judgement to minimize the amount of work for everyone involved.
+
+## Creating a Development Environment
+
+If you wish to develop for TagStudio, you'll need to create a development environment by installing the required dependencies. You have a number of options depending on your level of experience and familiarly with existing Python toolchains.
+
+If you know what you're doing and have developed for Python projects in the past, you can get started quickly with the "Brief Instructions" below. Otherwise, please see the full instructions on the documentation website for "[Creating a Development Environment](https://docs.tagstud.io/install/#creating-a-development-environment)".
+
+### Brief Instructions
+
+1. Have [Python 3.12](https://www.python.org/downloads/) and PIP installed. Also have [FFmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/download.html) installed if you wish to have audio/video playback and thumbnails.
+2. Clone the repository to the folder of your choosing:
+ ```
+ git clone https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio.git
+ ```
+3. Use a dependency manager such as [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) or [Poetry 2.0](https://python-poetry.org/blog/category/releases/) to install the required dependencies, or alternatively create and activate a [virtual environment](https://docs.tagstud.io/install/#manual-installation) with `venv`.
+
+4. If using a virtual environment instead of a dependency manager, install an editable version of the program and development dependencies with the following PIP command:
+
+ ```
+ pip install -e ".[dev]"
+ ```
+
+ Otherwise, modify the command above for use with your dependency manager of choice. For example if using uv, you may use this:
+
+ ```
+ uv pip install -e ".[dev]"
+ ```
+
+## Workflow Checks
+
+When pushing your code, several automated workflows will check it against predefined tests and style checks. It's _highly recommended_ that you run these checks locally beforehand to avoid having to fight back-and-forth with the workflow checks inside your pull requests.
+
+
+!!! tip
+ To format the code automatically before each commit, there's a configured action available for the `pre-commit` hook. Install it by running `pre-commit install`. The hook will be executed each time on running `git commit`.
+
+### [Ruff](https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff)
+
+A Python linter and code formatter. Ruff uses the `pyproject.toml` as its config file and runs whenever code is pushed or pulled into the project.
+
+#### Running Locally
+
+Inside the root repository directory:
+
+- Lint code with `ruff check`
+ - Some linting suggestions can be automatically formatted with `ruff check --fix`
+- Format code with `ruff format`
+
+Ruff should automatically discover the configuration options inside the [pyproject.toml](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/blob/main/pyproject.toml) file. For more information, see the [ruff configuration discovery docs](https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/configuration/#config-file-discovery).
+
+Ruff is also available as a VS Code [extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=charliermarsh.ruff), PyCharm [plugin](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/20574-ruff), and [more](https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/integrations/).
+
+### [Mypy](https://github.com/python/mypy)
+
+Mypy is a static type checker for Python. It sure has a lot to say sometimes, but we recommend you take its advice when possible. Mypy also uses the `pyproject.toml` as its config file and runs whenever code is pushed or pulled into the project.
+
+#### Running Locally
+
+- **(First time only)** Run the following:
+ - `mkdir -p .mypy_cache`
+ - `mypy --install-types --non-interactive`
+- You can now check code by running `mypy --config-file pyproject.toml .` in the repository root. _(Don't forget the "." at the end!)_
+
+Mypy is also available as a VS Code [extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=matangover.mypy), PyCharm [plugin](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/11086-mypy), and [more](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/11086-mypy).
+
+### PyTest
+
+- Run all tests by running `pytest tests/` in the repository root.
+
+## Code Style
+
+See the [Style Guide](style.md)
+
+### Modules & Implementations
+
+- **Do not** modify legacy library code in the `src/core/library/json/` directory
+- Avoid direct calls to `os`
+ - Use `Pathlib` library instead of `os.path`
+ - Use `platform.system()` instead of `os.name` and `sys.platform`
+- Don't prepend local imports with `tagstudio`, stick to `src`
+- Use the `logger` system instead of `print` statements
+- Avoid nested f-strings
+- Use HTML-like tags inside Qt widgets over stylesheets where possible
+
+### Commit and Pull Request Style
+
+- Use [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0) as a guideline for commit messages. This allows us to easily generate changelogs for releases.
+ - See some [examples](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/#examples) of what this looks like in practice.
+- Use clear and concise commit messages. If your commit does too much, either consider breaking it up into smaller commits or providing extra detail in the commit description.
+- Pull requests should have an adequate title and description which clearly outline your intentions and changes/additions. Feel free to provide screenshots, GIFs, or videos, especially for UI changes.
+- Pull requests should ideally be limited to **a single** feature or fix.
+
+
+!!! important
+ **Please do not force push if your PR is open for review!** Force pushing makes it impossible to discern which changes have already been reviewed and which haven't. This means a reviewer will then have to re-review all the already reviewed code, which is a lot of unnecessary work for reviewers.
+
+
+!!! tip
+ If you're unsure where to stop the scope of your PR, ask yourself: _"If I broke this up, could any parts of it still be used by the project in the meantime?"_
+
+### Runtime Requirements
+
+- Final code must function on supported versions of Windows, macOS, and Linux:
+ - Windows: 10, 11
+ - macOS: 13.0+
+ - Linux: _Varies_
+- Final code must **_NOT:_**
+ - Contain superfluous or unnecessary logging statements
+ - Cause unreasonable slowdowns to the program outside of a progress-indicated task
+ - Cause undesirable visual glitches or artifacts on screen
+
+## Documentation Guidelines
+
+Documentation contributions include anything inside of the `docs/` folder, as well as the `README.md` and `CONTRIBUTING.md` files. Documentation inside the `docs/` folder is built and hosted on our static documentation site, [docs.tagstud.io](https://docs.tagstud.io/).
+
+- Use "[dash-case / kebab-case](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Kebab_case)" for file and folder names
+- Follow the folder structure pattern
+- Don't add images or other media with excessively large file sizes
+- Provide alt text for all embedded media
+- Use "[Title Case](https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/capitalization/title-case)" for title capitalization
+
+## Translation Guidelines
+
+Translations are performed on the TagStudio [Weblate project](https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/tagstudio/).

+The library is how TagStudio represents your chosen directory, with every file inside being represented by a [file entry](entries.md). You can have as many or few libraries as you wish, since each libraries' data is stored within a `.TagStudio` folder at its root. From there the library save file itself is stored as `ts_library.sqlite`, with TagStudio versions 9.4 and below using a the legacy `ts_library.json` format.

-# :material-shape-plus: Tag Categories
-
-The "Is Category" property of tags determines if a tag should be treated as a category itself when being organized inside the preview panel. Tags marked as categories will show themselves and all tags inheriting from it (including recursively) underneath a field-like section with the tag's name. This means that duplicates of tags can appear on entries if the tag inherits from multiple parent categories, however this is by design and reflects the nature of multiple inheritance. Any tags not inheriting from a category tag will simply show under a default "Tag" section.
-
-
-
-### Built-In Tags and Categories
-
-The built-in tags "Favorite" and "Archived" inherit from the built-in "Meta Tags" category which is marked as a category by default. This behavior of default tags can be fully customized by disabling the category option and/or by adding/removing the tags' Parent Tags.
-
-### Migrating from v9.4 Libraries
-
-Due to the nature of how tags and Tag Felids operated prior to v9.5, the organization style of Tag Categories vs Tag Fields is not 1:1. Instead of tags being organized into fields on a per-entry basis, tags themselves determine their organizational layout via the "Is Property" flag. Any tags _(not currently inheriting from either the "Favorite" or "Archived" tags)_ will be shown under the default "Tags" header upon migrating to the v9.5+ library format. Similar organization to Tag Fields can be achieved by using the built-in "Meta Tags" tag or any other marked with "Is Category" and then setting those tags as parents for other tags to inherit from.

- This page is a work in progress and needs to be updated with additional information.
-
-The library is how TagStudio represents your chosen directory, with every file inside being represented by a [file entry](./entry.md). You can have as many or few libraries as you wish, since each libraries' data is stored within a `.TagStudio` folder at its root. From there the library save file itself is stored as `ts_library.sqlite`, with TagStudio versions 9.4 and below using a the legacy `ts_library.json` format.
-
-Note that this means [tags](./tag.md) you create only exist _per-library_. Global tags along with other library structure updates are planned for future releases on the [roadmap](../updates/roadmap.md#library).

+
+Observe the following key aspects of this example:
+
+- The Controller is just called `MyCoolWidget` instead of `MyCoolWidgetController` as it will be directly used by other code
+- The UI elements are in private variables
+ - This enforces that the controller shouldn't directly access UI elements
+ - Instead the view should provide a protected API (e.g. `_get_color()`) for things like setting/getting the value of a dropdown, etc.
+ - Instead of `_get_color()` there could also be a `_color` method marked with `@property`
+- The callback methods are already defined as protected methods with NotImplementedErrors
+ - Defines the interface the callbacks
+ - Enforces that UI events be handled
+
+
+!!! tip
+ A good (non-exhaustive) rule of thumb is: If it requires a non-UI import, then it doesn't belong in the `*_view.py` file.

+### Disambiguation
Just as in real life, sometimes there are different attributes that share the same name with one another. The process of adding specificity to something in order to not confuse it with something similar is known as [disambiguation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word-sense_disambiguation). In TagStudio we give the option to automatically disambiguate tag names based on a specially marked [Parent Tag](#parent-tags). Parent tags are explained in further detail below, but for the purposes of tag names they can lend themselves to clarifying the name of a tag without the user needing to manually change the name or add complicated aliases.
Given a tag named "Freddy", we may confuse it with other "Freddy" tags in our library. There are lots of Freddys in the world, after all. If we're talking about Freddy from "Five Nights at Freddy's", then we may already (and likely should) have a separate "Five Nights at Freddy's" tag added as a parent tag. When the disambiguation box next to a parent tag is selected (see image below) then our tag name will automatically display its name with that parent tag's name (or shorthand if available) in parentheses.

So if the "Five Nights at Freddy's" tag is added as a parent tag on the "Freddy" tag, and the disambiguation box next to it is checked, then our tag name will automatically be displayed as "Freddy (Five Nights at Freddy's)". Better yet, if the "Five Nights at Freddy's" tag has a shorthand such as "FNAF", then our "Freddy" tag will be displayed as "Freddy (FNAF)". This process preserves our base tag name ("Freddy") and provides an option to get a clean and consistent method to display disambiguating parent categories, rather than having to type this information in manually for each applicable tag.

In a system where tags have no relationships, you're required to add as many tags as you possibly can to describe every last element of an image or file. If you want to tag an image of Shrek, you need to add a tag for `Shrek` himself, a `Character` tag since he's a character, a `Movie` and perhaps `Dreamworks` tag since he's a character from a movie, or perhaps a `Book` tag if we're talking about the original character, and then of course tags for every other attribute of Shrek shown or implied. By allowing tags to have inheritance relationships, we can have a single `Shrek` tag inherit from `Character` (Shrek IS a character) as well as from a separate `Shrek (Movie Franchise)` tag that itself inherits from `Movie Franchise` and `Dreamworks`. Now by simply adding the `Shrek` tag to an image, we've effectively also added the `Character`, `Shrek (Move Franchise)`, `Movie Franchise`, and `Dreamworks` attributes all in one go. On the image entry itself we only see `Shrek`, but the rest of the attributes are implied.

Component tags will be built from a composition-based, or "HAS" type relationship between tags. This takes care of instances where an attribute may "have" another attribute, but doesn't inherit from it. Shrek may be an `Ogre`, he may be a `Character`, but he is NOT a `Leather Vest` - even if he's commonly seen _with_ it. Component tags, along with the upcoming "Tag Override" feature, are built to handle these cases in a way that still simplifies the tagging process without adding too much undue complexity for the user.

Tags use a default uncolored appearance by default, however can take on a number of built-in and user-created colors and color palettes! Tag color palettes can be based on a single color value (see: TagStudio Standard, TagStudio Shades, TagStudio Pastels) or use an optional secondary color use for the text and optionally the tag border (e.g. TagStudio Neon).

#### User-Created Colors
-Custom palettes and colors can be created via the [Tag Color Manager](./tag_color.md). These colors will display alongside the built-in colors inside the tag selection window and are separated by their namespace names. Colors which use the secondary color for the tag border will be outlined in that color, otherwise they will only display the secondary color on the bottom of the swatch to indicate at a glance that the text colors are different.

#### Is Category
-When the "Is Category" property is checked, this tag now acts as a category separator inside the preview panel. If this tag or any tags inheriting from this tag (i.e. tags that have this tag as a "[Parent Tag](#parent-tags)"), then these tags will appear under a separated group that's named after this tag. Tags inheriting from multiple "category tags" will still show up under any applicable category. _Read more under: [Tag Categories](../library/tag_categories.md)._
+The "Is Category" property of tags determines if a tag should be treated as a category itself when being organized inside the preview panel. If this tag or any tags inheriting from this tag (i.e. tags that have this tag as a "[Parent Tag](#parent-tags)"), then these tags will appear under a separated group that's named after this tag. Tags inheriting from multiple "category tags" will still show up under any applicable category.
-
+This means that duplicates of tags can appear on entries if the tag inherits from multiple parent categories, however this is by design and reflects the nature of multiple inheritance. Any tags not inheriting from a category tag will simply show under a default "Tag" section.

+
+### Built-In Tags and Categories
+
+The built-in tags "Favorite" and "Archived" inherit from the built-in "Meta Tags" category which is marked as a category by default. This behavior of default tags can be fully customized by disabling the category option and/or by adding/removing the tags' Parent Tags.
+
+### Migrating from v9.4 Libraries
+
+Due to the nature of how tags and Tag Felids operated prior to v9.5, the organization style of Tag Categories vs Tag Fields is not 1:1. Instead of tags being organized into fields on a per-entry basis, tags themselves determine their organizational layout via the "Is Property" flag. Any tags _(not currently inheriting from either the "Favorite" or "Archived" tags)_ will be shown under the default "Tags" header upon migrating to the v9.5+ library format. Similar organization to Tag Fields can be achieved by using the built-in "Meta Tags" tag or any other marked with "Is Category" and then setting those tags as parents for other tags to inherit from.
