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.

# :material-image-check: Supported Previews
TagStudio offers built-in preview and thumbnail support for a wide variety of file types. Files that don't have explicit support can still be added to your library like normal, they will just show a default icon for thumbnails and previews. TagStudio also references the file's [MIME](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_type) type in an attempt to render previews for file types that haven't gained explicit support yet.

### Automatic Disambiguation
### 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.
![Tag Disambiguation Example](../assets/tag_disambiguation_example.png)
![Tag Disambiguation Example](assets/tag_disambiguation_example.png)
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.
@@ -52,7 +52,7 @@ One of the core properties of tags in TagStudio is their ability to form relatio
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.

Any tags not inheriting from a category tag will simply show under a default "Tag" section.
