-## [9.5.0] - 2025-03-03
-
-### Added
-
-#### Overhauled Search Engine

-
- 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.

-#### 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).

-
-### Changed
-
-##### [#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

-
-### 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: add filetype and mediatype searches by [@python357-1](https://github.com/python357-1) in [#575](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/pull/575)

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

-# 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/).

-# 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
-├── controller
-│   ├── widgets
-│   │   └── preview_panel_controller.py
-│   └── main_window_controller.py
-├── view
-│   ├── widgets
-│   │   └── preview_panel_view.py
-│   └── main_window_view.py
-├── ts_qt.py
-└── mixed.py
-```
-
-In this structure there are the `view` and `controller` sub-directories. They have the exact same structure and for every `<component>_view.py` there is a `<component>_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.

+## 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.
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+!!! 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.
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+!!! 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.
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+!!! 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

+# :material-file-document-remove: Ignoring Files & Directories
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+!!! warning "Legacy File Extension Ignoring"
+    TagStudio versions prior to v9.5.4 use a different, more limited method to exclude or include file extensions from your library and subsequent searches. Opening a pre-exiting library in v9.5.4 or later will non-destructively convert this to the newer, more extensive `.ts_ignore` format.
+
+    If you're still running an older version of TagStudio in the meantime, you can access the legacy system by going to "Edit -> Manage File Extensions" in the menubar.
+
+TagStudio offers the ability to ignore specific files and directories via a `.ts_ignore` file located inside your [library's](libraries.md) `.TagStudio` folder. This file is designed to use very similar [glob](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glob_(programming)>)-style pattern matching as the [`.gitignore`](https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore) file used by Git™[^1]. It can be edited within TagStudio or opened to edit with an external program by going to the "Edit -> Ignore Files" option in the menubar.
+
+This file is only referenced when scanning directories for new files to add to your library, and does not apply to files that have already been added to your library.
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+!!! tip
+    If you just want some specific examples of how to achieve common tasks with the ignore patterns (e.g. ignoring a single file type, ignoring a specific folder) then jump to the "[Use Cases](#use-cases)" section!
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->
+=== "Example .ts_ignore file"
+```toml title="My Library/.TagStudio/.ts_ignore"
+# TagStudio .ts_ignore file.
+
+# Code
+__pycache__
+.pytest_cache
+.venv
+.vs
+
+# Projects
+Minecraft/**/Metadata
+Minecraft/Website
+!Minecraft/Website/*.png
+!Minecraft/Website/*.css
+
+# Documents
+*.doc
+*.docx
+*.ppt
+*.pptx
+*.xls
+*.xlsx
+```
+<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->
+
+## Pattern Format
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+!!! note ""
+    _This section sourced and adapted from Git's[^1] `.gitignore` [documentation](https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore)._
+
+### Internal Processes
+
+When scanning your library directories, the `.ts_ignore` file is read by either the [`wcmatch`](https://facelessuser.github.io/wcmatch/glob/) library or [`ripgrep`](https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep) in glob mode depending if you have the later installed on your system and it's detected by TagStudio. Ripgrep is the preferred method for scanning directories due to its improved performance and identical pattern matching to `.gitignore`. This mixture of tools may lead to slight inconsistencies if not using `ripgrep`.
+
+---
+
+### Comments ( `#` )
+
+A `#` symbol at the start of a line indicates that this line is a comment, and match no items. Blank lines are used to enhance readability and also match no items.
+
+-   Can be escaped by putting a backslash ("`\`") in front of the `#` symbol.
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->
+=== "Example comment"
+    ```toml
+    # This is a comment! I can say whatever I want on this line.
+    file_that_is_being_matched.txt
+
+    # file_that_is_NOT_being_matched.png
+    file_that_is_being_matched.png
+    ```
+=== "Organizing with comments"
+    ```toml
+    # TagStudio .ts_ignore file.
+
+    # Minecraft Stuff
+    Minecraft/**/Metadata
+    Minecraft/Website
+    !Minecraft/Website/*.png
+    !Minecraft/Website/*.css
+
+    # Microsoft Office
+    *.doc
+    *.docx
+    *.ppt
+    *.pptx
+    *.xls
+    *.xlsx
+    ```
+=== "Escape a # symbol"
+    ```toml
+    # To ensure a file named '#hashtag.jpg' is ignored:
+    \#hashtag.jpg
+    ```
+<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->
+
+---
+
+### Directories ( `/` )
+
+The forward slash "`/`" is used as the directory separator. Separators may occur at the beginning, middle or end of the `.ts_ignore` search pattern.
+
+-   If there is a separator at the beginning or middle (or both) of the pattern, then the pattern is relative to the directory level of the particular `.TagStudio` library folder itself. Otherwise the pattern may also match at any level below the `.TagStudio` folder level.
+
+-   If there is a separator at the end of the pattern then the pattern will only match directories, otherwise the pattern can match both files and directories.
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->
+=== "Example folder pattern"
+    ```toml
+    # Matches "frotz" and "a/frotz" if they are directories.
+    frotz/
+    ```
+=== "Example nested folder pattern"
+    ```toml
+    # Matches "doc/frotz" but not "a/doc/frotz".
+    doc/frotz/
+    ```
+<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->
+
+---
+
+### Negation ( `!` )
+
+A `!` prefix before a pattern negates the pattern, allowing any files matched matched by previous patterns to be un-matched.
+
+-   Any matching file excluded by a previous pattern will become included again.
+-   **It is not possible to re-include a file if a parent directory of that file is excluded.**
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->
+=== "Example negation"
+    ```toml
+    # All .jpg files will be ignored, except any located in the 'Photos' folder.
+    *.jpg
+    Photos/!*.jpg
+    ```
+=== "Escape a ! Symbol"
+    ```toml
+    # To ensure a file named '!wowee.jpg' is ignored:
+    \!wowee.jpg
+    ```
+<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->
+
+---
+
+### Wildcards
+
+#### Single Asterisks ( `*` )
+
+An asterisk "`*`" matches anything except a slash.
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->
+=== "File examples"
+    ```toml
+    # Matches all .png files in the "Images" folder.
+    Images/*.png
+
+    # Matches all .png files in all folders
+    *.png
+    ```
+=== "Folder examples"
+    ```toml
+    # Matches any files or folders directly in "Images/" but not deeper levels.
+    #   Matches file "Images/mario.jpg"
+    #   Matches folder "Images/Mario"
+    #   Does not match file "Images/Mario/cat.jpg"
+    Images/*
+    ```
+<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->
+
+#### Question Marks ( `?` )
+
+The character "`?`" matches any one character except "`/`".
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->
+=== "File examples"
+    ```toml
+    # Matches any .png file starting with "IMG_" and ending in any four characters.
+    #   Matches "IMG_0001.png"
+    #   Matches "Photos/IMG_1234.png"
+    #   Does not match "IMG_1.png"
+    IMG_????.png
+
+    # Same as above, except matches any file extension instead of only .png
+    IMG_????.*
+    ```
+=== "Folder examples"
+    ```toml
+    # Matches all files in any direct subfolder of "Photos" beginning in "20".
+    #   Matches "Photos/2000"
+    #   Matches "Photos/2024"
+    #   Matches "Photos/2099"
+    #   Does not match "Photos/1995"
+    Photos/20??/
+    ```
+<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->
+
+#### Double Asterisks ( `**` )
+
+Two consecutive asterisks ("`**`") in patterns matched against full pathname may have special meaning:
+
+-   A leading "`**`" followed by a slash means matches in all directories.
+-   A trailing "`/**`" matches everything inside.
+-   A slash followed by two consecutive asterisks then a slash ("`/**/`") matches zero or more directories.
+-   Other consecutive asterisks are considered regular asterisks and will match according to the previous rules.
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->
+=== "Leading **"
+    ```toml
+    # Both match file or directory "foo" anywhere
+    **/foo
+    foo
+
+    # Matches file or directory "bar" anywhere that is directly under directory "foo"
+    **/foo/bar
+    ```
+=== "Trailing /**"
+    ```toml
+    # Matches all files inside directory "abc" with infinite depth.
+    abc/**
+    ```
+=== "Middle /**/"
+    ```toml
+    # Matches "a/b", "a/x/b", "a/x/y/b" and so on.
+    a/**/b
+    ```
+<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->
+
+#### Square Brackets ( `[a-Z]` )
+
+Character sets and ranges are specific and powerful forms of wildcards that use characters inside of brackets (`[]`) to leverage very specific matching. The range notation, e.g. `[a-zA-Z]`, can be used to match one of the characters in a range.
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+!!! tip
+    For more in-depth examples and explanations on how to use ranges, please reference the [`glob`](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/glob.7.html) man page.
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->
+=== "Range examples"
+    ```toml
+    # Matches all files that start with "IMG_" and end in a single numeric character.
+        # Matches "IMG_0.jpg", "IMG_7.png"
+        # Does not match "IMG_10.jpg", "IMG_A.jpg"
+    IMG_[0-9]
+
+    # Matches all files that start with "IMG_" and end in a single alphabetic character
+    IMG_[a-z]
+    ```
+=== "Set examples"
+    ```toml
+    # Matches all files that start with "IMG_" and in any character in the set.
+        # Matches "draft_a.docx", "draft_b.docx", "draft_c.docx"
+        # Does not match "draft_d.docx"
+    draft_[abc]
+
+    # Matches all files that start with "IMG_" and end in a single alphabetic character
+    IMG_[a-z]
+    ```
+<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->
+
+---
+
+## Use Cases
+
+### Ignoring Files by Extension
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+=== "Ignore all .jpg files"
+    ```toml
+    *.jpg
+    ```
+=== "Ignore all files EXCEPT .jpg files"
+    ```toml
+    *
+    !*.jpg
+    ```
+=== "Ignore all .jpg files in specific folders"
+    ```toml
+    ./Photos/Worst Vacation/*.jpg
+    Music/Artwork Art/*.jpg
+    ```
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+!!! tip "Ensuring Complete Extension Matches"
+    For some filetypes, it may be nessisary to specify different casing and alternative spellings in order to match with all possible variations of an extension in your library.
+
+    ```toml title="Ignore (Most) Possible JPEG File Extensions"
+    # The JPEG Cinematic Universe
+    *.jpg
+    *.jpeg
+    *.jfif
+    *.jpeg_large
+    *.JPG
+    *.JPEG
+    *.JFIF
+    *.JPEG_LARGE
+    ```
+
+### Ignoring a Folder
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+=== "Ignore all "Cache" folders"
+    ```toml
+    # Matches any folder called "Cache" no matter where it is in your library.
+    cache/
+    ```
+=== "Ignore a "Downloads" folder"
+    ```toml
+    # "Downloads" must be a folder on the same level as your ".TagStudio" folder.
+    #   Does not match with folders name "Downloads" elsewhere in your library
+    #   Does not match with a file called "Downloads"
+    /Downloads/
+    ```
+=== "Ignore .jpg files in specific folders"
+    ```toml
+    Photos/Worst Vacation/*.jpg
+    /Music/Artwork Art/*.jpg
+    ```

-### Libraries
+![TagStudio screenshot](./assets/tag_bubbles.png)

-   Create [libraries](./library/index.md) centered around a system directory. Libraries contain a series of entries: the representations of your files combined with metadata fields. Each entry represents a file in your library’s directory, and is linked to its location.
-   Address moved, deleted, or otherwise "unlinked" files by using the "Fix Unlinked Entries" option in the Tools menu.

-### Tagging + Metadata Fields
+</div>

-   Add custom powerful [tags](./library/tag.md) to your library entries
-   Add [metadata fields](./library/field.md) to your library entries, including:
-    -   Name, Author, Artist (Single-Line Text Fields)
-    -   Description, Notes (Multi-Line Text Fields)
-   Create rich tags composed of a name, color, a list of aliases, and a list of "parent tags" - these being tags in which these tags inherit values from.
-   Copy and paste tags and fields across file entries
-   Automatically organize tags into groups based on parent tags marked as "categories"
-   Generate tags from your existing folder structure with the "Folders to Tags" macro (NOTE: these tags do NOT sync with folders after they are created)

-### Search
+## :material-star: Core Features

-   [Search](./library/library_search.md) for file entries based on tags, file path (`path:`), file types (`filetype:`), and even media types! (`mediatype:`)

-   Use special search conditions (`special:untagged`) to find file entries without tags or fields, respectively
+<div class="grid cards" markdown>

-### File Entries
+-   :material-file-multiple:{ .lg .middle } **[All Files](entries.md) Welcome**

-   Nearly all [file](./library/entry.md) types are supported in TagStudio libraries - just not all have dedicated thumbnail support.
-   Preview most image file types, animated GIFs, videos, plain text documents, audio files, Blender projects, and more!
-   Open files or file locations by right-clicking on thumbnails and previews and selecting the respective context menu options. You can also click on the preview panel image to open the file, and click the file path label to open its location.
-   Delete files from both your library and drive by right-clicking the thumbnail(s) and selecting the "Move to Trash"/"Move to Recycle Bin" option.

+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.

+
+This page outlines the various changes made to the TagStudio library save file format over time, sometimes referred to as the "database" or "database file".
+
+---
+
+## JSON
+
+Legacy (JSON) library save format versions were tied to the release version of the program itself. This number was stored in a `version` key inside the JSON file.
+
+### Versions 1.0.0 - 9.4.2
+
+| Used From | Format | Location                                      |
+| --------- | ------ | --------------------------------------------- |
+| v1.0.0    | JSON   | `<Library Folder>`/.TagStudio/ts_library.json |
+
+The legacy database format for public TagStudio releases [v9.1](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/tree/Alpha-v9.1) through [v9.4.2](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/releases/tag/v9.4.2). Variations of this format had been used privately since v1.0.0.
+
+Replaced by the new SQLite format introduced in TagStudio [v9.5.0 Pre-Release 1](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/releases/tag/v9.5.0-pr1).
+
+---
+
+## SQLite
+
+Starting with TagStudio [v9.5.0-pr1](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/releases/tag/v9.5.0-pr1), the library save format has been moved to a [SQLite](https://sqlite.org) format. Legacy JSON libraries are migrated (with the user's consent) to the new format when opening in current versions of the program. The save format versioning is now separate from the program's versioning number.
+
+Versions **1-100** stored the database version in a table called `preferences` in a row with the `key` column of `"DB_VERSION"` inside the corresponding `value` column.
+
+Versions **>101** store the database version in a table called `versions` in a row with the `key` column of `'CURRENT'` inside the corresponding `value` column. The `versions` table also stores the initial database version in which the file was created with under the `'INITIAL'` key. Databases created before this key was introduced will always have `'INITIAL'` value of `100`.
+
+```mermaid
+erDiagram
+  versions {
+    TEXT key PK "Values: ['INITIAL', 'CURRENT']"
+    INTEGER value
+  }
+```
+
+### Versions 1 - 5
+
+These versions were used while developing the new SQLite file format, outside any official or recommended release. These versions **were never supported** in any official capacity and were actively warned against using for real libraries.
+
+---
+
+### Version 6
+
+| Used From                                                                       | Format | Location                                        |

+| [v9.5.0-pr1](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/releases/tag/v9.5.0-pr1) | SQLite | `<Library Folder>`/.TagStudio/ts_library.sqlite |
+
+The first public version of the SQLite save file format.
+
+Migration from the legacy JSON format is provided via a walkthrough when opening a legacy library in TagStudio [v9.5.0 Pre-Release 1](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/releases/tag/v9.5.0-pr1) or later.

+
+-   Introduces built-in minor versioning
+    -   The version number divided by 100 (and floored) constitutes the **major** version. Major version indicate breaking changes that prevent libraries from being opened in TagStudio versions older than the ones they were created in.
+    -   Values more precise than this ("ones" through "tens" columns) constitute the **minor** version. These indicate minor changes that don't prevent a newer library from being opened in an older version of TagStudio, as long as the major version is not also increased.

+-   Deprecates the `preferences` table, set to be removed in a future TagStudio version.
+-   Introduces the `versions` table
+    -   Has a string `key` column and an int `value` column
+    -   The `key` column stores one of two values: `'INITIAL'` and `'CURRENT'`
+    -   `'INITIAL'` stores the database version number in which in was created
+        -   Pre-existing databases set this number to `100`
+    -   `'CURRENT'` stores the current database version number
+
+#### Version 102

-# 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.

-![Tag Categories Example](../assets/tag_categories_example.png)
-
-### 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.

+
+# :material-script-text: Macros
+
+TagStudio features a configurable macro system which allows you to set up automatic or manually triggered actions to perform a wide array of operations on your [library](libraries.md). Each macro is stored in an individual script file and is created using [TOML](https://toml.io/en/) with a predefined schema described below. Macro files are stored in your library's "`.TagStudio/macros`" folder.
+
+## Schema Version
+
+The `schema_version` key declares which version of the macro schema is currently being used. Current schema version: 1.
+
+```toml
+schema_version = 1
+```
+
+## Triggers
+
+The `triggers` key declares when a macro may be automatically ran. Macros can still be manually triggered even if they have automatic triggers defined.
+
+-   `on_open`: Run when the TagStudio library is opened.
+-   `on_refresh`: Run when the TagStudio library's directories have been refreshed.
+-   `on_new_entry`: Run a new [file entry](entries.md) that has been created.
+
+```toml
+triggers = ["on_new_entry"]
+```
+
+## Actions
+
+Actions are broad categories of operations that your macro will perform. They are represented by TOML tables and must have a unique name in your macro file, but the name itself has no importance to the macro. A single macro file can contain multiple actions and each action can contain multiple tasks.
+
+An action table with a name of your choosing (e.g. `[action]`) will contain the general configuration for your action, and nested task tables (e.g. `[action.task]`) will define the specifics of your action's tasks.
+
+Action tables must have an `action` key with one of the following valid action values:
+
+-   [`import_data`](#import-data): Import data from a supported external source.
+-   [`add_data`](#add-data): Add data declared inside the macro file.
+
+```toml
+[newgrounds]
+action = "import_data"
+```
+
+Most of the configuration of actions comes at the [task configuration](#task-configuration) level. This is where you will build out exactly how your action will translate data and instructions into results for your TagStudio library.
+
+---
+
+### Add Data
+
+The `add_data` action lets you add data to a [file entry](entries.md) given one or more conditional statements. Unlike the [`import_data`](#import-data) action, the `add_data` action adds data declared in the macro itself rather than importing it form a source external to the macro.
+
+Compatible Keys:
+
+-   [`source_filters`](#source_filters)
+-   [`value`](#value)
+
+---
+
+### Import Data
+
+The `import_data` action allows you to import external data into your TagStudio library in the form of [tags](tags.md) and [fields](fields.md). While some sources need explicit support (e.g. ID3, EXIF) generic sources such as JSON sidecar files can leverage a wide array of data shaping options that allow the underlying data structure to be abstracted from TagStudio's internal data structures. This macro pairs very well with tools that download sidecar files for data such as [gallery-dl](https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl).
+
+Compatible Keys:
+
+-   [`key`](#key)
+-   [`source_location`](#source_location)
+-   [`source_format`](#source_format)
+-   [`is_embedded`](#is_embedded)
+
+If you're importing from an object-like source (e.g. JSON), you'll need to create a nested task table with the format `[action.task]` and provide a [`key`](#key) field filled with the name of the targeted source key. In this case the task name does not matter as long as it doesn't conflict with one of the built-in task names (i.e. "`map`", "`inverse_map`, "`template`").
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+=== "Importable JSON Data"
+    ```json
+    {
+        "newgrounds": {
+            "tags": ["tag1", "tag2"]
+        }
+    }
+    ```
+=== "TOML Macro"
+    ```toml
+    [newgrounds]
+    action="import_data"
+    [newgrounds.tags]
+    key="tags"
+    ```
+
+Inside the new table we can now declare additional information about the native data formats and how they should be imported into TagStudio.

+
+#### `source_format`
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+!!! note ""
+    Compatible Actions: [`import_data`](#import-data)
+
+The `source_format` key is used to declare what type of source data will be imported from.
+
+```toml
+[newgrounds]
+action = "import_data"
+source_format = "json"
+```
+
+-   `exif`: Embedded EXIF metadata
+-   `id3`: Embedded ID3 metadata
+-   `json`: A JSON formatted file
+-   `text`: A plaintext file
+-   `xml`: An XML formatted file
+-   `xmp`: Embedded XMP metadata or an XMP sidecar file
+
+---
+
+#### `source_location`
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+!!! note ""
+    Compatible Actions: [`import_data`](#import-data)
+
+The `source_location` key is used to declare where the metadata should be imported from. This can be a relative or absolute path, and can reference the targeted filename with the `{filename}` placeholder.
+
+```toml
+[newgrounds]
+action = "import_data"
+source_format = "json"
+source_location = "{filename}.json" # Relative sidecar file
+```
+
+<!-- -   `absolute`: An absolute file location
+-   `embedded`: Data that's embedded within the targeted file
+-   `sidecar`: A sidecar file with a relative file location -->
+
+---
+
+#### `is_embedded`
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+!!! note ""
+    Compatible Actions: [`import_data`](#import-data)
+
+If targeting embedded data, add the `is_embedded` key and set it to `true`. If no `source_location` is used then the file this macro is targeting will be used as a source.
+
+```toml
+[newgrounds]
+action = "import_data"
+source_format = "id3"
+is_embedded = true
+```
+
+---
+
+#### `source_filters`
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+!!! note ""
+    Compatible Actions:  [`add_data`](#add-data), [`import_data`](#import-data)
+
+`source_filters` are used to declare a glob list of files that are able to be targeted by this action. An entry filepath only needs to fall under one of the given source filters in order for the macro to continue. If not, then the macro will be skipped for this file entry.
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+=== "import_data"
+    ```toml
+    [newgrounds]
+    action = "import_data"
+    source_format = "json"
+    source_location = "{filename}.json"
+    source_filters = ["**/Newgrounds/**"]
+    ```
+=== "add_data"
+    ```toml
+    [animated]
+    action = "add_data"
+    source_filters = ["**/*.gif", "**/*.apng"]
+    ```
+
+<!-- ### Source Types
+
+The `source_type` key allows for the explicit declaration of the type and/or format of the source data. When this key is omitted, TagStudio will default to the data type that makes the most sense for the destination [TagStudio type](#tagstudio-types).
+
+-   `string`: A character string (text)
+-   `integer`: An integer
+-   `float`: A floating point number
+-   `url`: A string with a special URL formatting pass
+-   [`ISO8601`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601) A standard datetime format
+-   `list:string`: List of strings (text)
+-   `list:integer`: List of integers
+-   `list:float`: List of floating point numbers -->
+
+---
+
+## Task Configuration
+
+An [action's](#actions) tasks need to be configured using the built-in keys available to each action. These keys may be specific to certain actions, required or optional, or expect other specific formatting. The actions section will list each action's available keys, and the following list of keys will likewise list which actions they are compatible with along with any other rules.
+
+Along with generally defining your own custom tasks, there are a few built-in tasks that have reserved names and offer extra functionality on top of your own tasks. These currently include:
+
+-   [`.inverse-map`](#many-to-1-inverse-map) (Inverse Tag Maps)
+-   [`.map`](#manual-tag-mapping) (Tag Maps)
+-   [`.template`](#templates) (Templates)
+
+---
+
+### `key`
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+!!! note ""
+    Compatible Actions: [`import_data`](#import-data)
+
+The `key` key is used to specify the object key to target in your data source. If you're targeting a nested object, separate the names of the keys with a dot.
+
+```toml
+[artstation]
+action = "import_data"
+source_format = "json"
+[artstation.tags]
+key="tags"
+ts_type = "tags"
+[artstation.mediums]
+key="mediums.name" # Nested key
+ts_type = "tags"
+```
+
+When importing from the same key multiple times, you have the option to either choose different names for your task tables or use the same name with these tables wrapped in an extra pair of brackets.
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+=== "Single Import"
+    ```toml
+    [newgrounds]
+    # Newgrounds table info here
+    [newgrounds.artist]
+    key="artist"
+    ts_type = "tags"
+    use_context = false
+    on_missing = "create"
+    ```
+=== "Multiple Imports"
+    ```toml

+    [newgrounds.artist_text]
+    key="artist"
+    ts_type = "text_line"
+    name = "Artist"
+    ```
+=== "Multiple Imports (Wrapped)"
+    ```toml
+    [newgrounds]
+    # Newgrounds table info here
+    [[newgrounds.artist]]
+    key="artist"
+    ts_type = "tags"

+
+---
+
+### `ts_type`
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+!!! note ""
+    Compatible Actions: [`add_data`](#add-data), [`import_data`](#import-data)
+
+The required `ts_type` key defines the destination data format inside TagStudio itself. This can be [tags](tags.md) or any [field](fields.md) type.
+
+-   [`tags`](tags.md)
+-   [`text_line`](fields.md#text-line)
+-   [`text_box`](fields.md#text-box)
+-   [`datetime`](fields.md#datetime)
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+=== "Title Field"
+    ```toml
+    [newgrounds]
+    # newgrounds table info here
+    [newgrounds.title]
+    ts_type = "text_line"
+    name = "Title"
+    ```
+=== "Tags"
+    ```toml
+    [newgrounds]
+    # newgrounds table info here
+    [newgrounds.tags]
+    ts_type = "tags"
+    ```
+
+#### Field Specific Keys
+
+`name`: The name of the field to import into.
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+=== "text_line"
+    ```toml
+    [newgrounds.user]
+    key="user"
+    ts_type = "text_line"
+    name = "Author"
+    ```
+=== "text_box"
+    ```toml
+    [newgrounds.content]
+    key="content"
+    ts_type = "text_box"
+    name = "Description"
+    ```
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+!!! note
+    As of writing (v9.5.3) TagStudio fields still do not allow for custom names. The macro system is designed to be forward-thinking with this feature in mind, however only existing TagStudio field names are currently considered valid. Any invalid field names will default to the "Notes" field.
+
+#### Tag Specific Keys
+
+Since TagStudio tags are more complex than other traditional tag formats, there are several options for fine-tuning how tags should be imported.
+
+`delimiter`: The delimiter between string tags to use.
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+=== "Comma + Space Separation"
+    ```toml
+    [newgrounds.tags]
+    ts_type = "tags"
+    delimiter = ", "
+    ```
+=== "Newline Separation"
+    ```toml
+    [newgrounds.tags]
+    ts_type = "tags"
+    delimiter = "\n"
+    ```
+
+`on_missing`: Determines the behavior of how to react to source tags with no match in the library.
+
+-   `"prompt"`: Ask the user if they wish to create, skip, or manually choose an existing tag.
+-   `"create"`: Automatically create a new TagStudio tag based on the source tag.
+-   `"skip"` (Default): Ignore the unmatched tags.
+
+```toml
+[newgrounds.tags]
+ts_type = "tags"
+strict = false
+use_context = true
+on_missing = "create"
+```
+
+`prefix`: An optional prefix to remove.
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+!!! example
+    Given a list of tags such as `["#tag1", "#tag2", "#tag3"]`, you may wish to remove the "`#`" prefix.
+
+```toml
+[instagram.tags]
+ts_type = "tags"
+prefix = "#"
+```
+
+`strict`: A flag that determines what [names](tags.md#naming-tags) of the TagStudio tags should be used to compare against the source data when matching.
+
+-   `true`: Only match against the TagStudio tag [name](tags.md#name) field.
+-   `false` (Default): Match against any TagStudio tag name field including [shorthands](tags.md#shorthand), [aliases](tags.md#aliases), and the [disambiguation name](tags.md#disambiguation).
+
+`use_context`: A flag that determines if TagStudio should use context clues from other source tags to provide more accurate tag matches.
+
+-   `true` (Default): Use context clue matching (slower, less ambiguous).
+-   `false`: Ignore surrounding source tags (faster, more ambiguous).
+    \*\*
+
+---
+
+### `value`
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+!!! note ""
+    Compatible Actions: [`add_data`](#add-data)
+
+The `value` key is use specifically with the [`add_data`](#add-data) action to define what value should be added to the file entry.
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+=== "Title Field"
+    ```toml
+    [animated]
+    action = "add_data"
+    source_filters = ["**/*.gif", "**/*.apng"]
+    [animated.title]
+    ts_type = "text_line"
+    name = "Title"
+    value = "Animated Image"
+    ```
+=== "Tags"
+    ```toml
+    [animated]
+    action = "add_data"
+    source_filters = ["**/*.gif", "**/*.apng"]
+    [animated.tags]
+    ts_type = "tags"
+    value = ["Animated"]
+    ```
+
+---
+
+### Manual Tag Mapping
+
+If the automatic tag matching system isn't enough to import tags the way you'd like, you can manually specify mappings between source and destination tags. Tables with the `.map` or `.inverse_map` task suffixes will be used to map tags in the nearest scope.
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+=== "Global Scope"
+    ```toml
+    # Applies to all actions in the macro file
+    [map]
+    ```
+=== "Action Scope"
+    ```toml
+    # Applies to all tasks in the "newgrounds" action
+    [newgrounds.map]
+    ```
+=== "Key Scope"
+    ```toml
+    # Only applies to the "ratings" task inside the "newgrounds" action
+    [newgrounds.ratings.map]
+    ```
+
+-   `map`: Used for "[1 to 0](#1-to-0-ignore-matches)", "[1 to 1](#1-to-1)", and "[1 to many](#1-to-many)" mappings
+-   `inverse_map`: Used for "[many to 1](#many-to-1-inverse-map)" mappings
+
+---
+
+#### 1 to 0 (Ignore Matches)
+
+By mapping the key of the source tag name to an empty string, you can ignore that tag when matching with your own tags. This is useful if you're importing from a source that uses tags you don't wish to use or create inside your own libraries.
+
+```toml
+[newgrounds.tags.map]
+# Source Tag Name = Nothing, Ignore Matches
+favorite = ""
+```
+
+---
+
+#### 1 to 1
+
+By mapping the key or quoted string of a source tag to one of your TagStudio tags, you can directly specify a destination tag while bypassing the matching algorithm.
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+!!! tip
+    Consider using tag [aliases](tags.md#aliases) instead of 1 to 1 mapping. This mapping technique is useful if you want to map a specific source tag to a destination tag that you otherwise don't consider to be an alternate name for the destination tag.
+
+```toml
+[newgrounds.tags.map]
+# Source Tag Name = TagStudio Tag Name
+colored_pencil = "Drawing"
+"Colored Pencil" = "Drawing"
+```
+
+---
+
+#### 1 to Many
+
+By mapping the key or quoted string of a source tag to a **list of your TagStudio tags**, you can cause one source tag to import as more than one of your TagStudio tags.
+
+```toml
+[newgrounds.tags.map]
+# Source Tag Name = List of TagStudio Tag Names
+drawing = ["Drawing (2D)", "Image (Meta Tags)"]
+video = ["Animation (2D)", "Animated (Meta Tags)"]
+```
+
+---
+
+#### Many to 1 (Inverse Map)
+
+By mapping the key or quoted string of one of your TagStudio tags to a **list of source tags**, you can declare a combination of required source tags that result in a wholly new matched TagStudio tag. This is useful if you use a single tag in your TagStudio library that is represented by multiple separate tags from your source.
+
+```toml
+[newgrounds.tags.inverse_map]
+# TagStudio Tag Name = List of Source Tag Names
+"Animation (2D)" = ["drawing", "video"]
+"Animation (3D)" = ["3D", "video"]
+```
+
+---
+
+### Templates
+
+Templates are part of the `input_data` action and allow you to take data from one or more keys of a source and combine them into a single value. Template sub-action tables must begin with the action name and end with `.template` (e.g. `[action.template]`). Source object keys can be embedded in a string value if surrounded by curly braces (`{}`). Nested keys are accessed by separating the keys with a dot (e.g. `{key.nested_key}`).
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->
+=== "Composite Template"
+    ```toml
+    [bluesky.template]
+    template = "https://www.bsky.app/profile/{author.handle}/post/{post_id}"
+    ts_type = "text_line"
+    name = "Source"
+    ```
+=== "Multiple Templates per Action"
+    ```toml
+    [[artstation.template]]
+    template = "Original Tags: {tags}"
+    ts_type = "text_box"
+    name = "Notes"
+
+    [[artstation.template]]
+    template = "Original Mediums: {mediums}"
+    ts_type = "text_box"
+    name = "Notes"
+    ```

+# :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.
+
+### :material-image-outline: Images
+
+Images will generate thumbnails the first time they are viewed or since the last time they were modified. Thumbnails are used in the grid view, but not in the Preview Panel. Animated images will play in the Preview Panel.

+Text files render the first 256 bytes of text information to an image preview for thumbnails and the Preview Panel. Improved thumbnails, full scrollable text, and syntax highlighting are on our [roadmap](roadmap.md#uiux) for future features.

+[^1]:
+    The `.jpg_large` extension is unofficial and instead the byproduct of how [Google Chrome used to download images from Twitter](https://fileinfo.com/extension/jpg_large). Since this mangled extension is still in circulation, TagStudio supports it.
+
+[^2]:
+    Apple Lossless traditionally uses `.m4a` and `.caf` containers, but may unofficially use the `.alac` extension. The `.m4a` container is also used for separate compressed audio codecs.
+
+[^3]:
+    Krita also supports saving projects as OpenRaster `.ora` files. Support for these is listed in the "[Images](#images)" section.

+### Fix Duplicate Files
+
+This tool allows for management of duplicate files in the library using a [DupeGuru](https://dupeguru.voltaicideas.net/) file.

+-   load the "results" file created from a DupeGuru scan
+
+Mirror Entries
+
+-   Duplicate entries will have their contents mirrored across all instances. This allows for duplicate files to then be deleted with DupeGuru as desired, without losing the [field](fields.md) data that has been assigned to either. (Once deleted, the "Fix Unlinked Entries" tool can be used to clean up the duplicates)

+# :material-map-check: Roadmap
+
+This page outlines the current and planned features required for TagStudio to be considered "feature complete" (v10.0.0). Features and changes are broken up by group in order to better assess the overall state of those features. [Priority levels](#priority-levels) and [version estimates](#version-estimates) are provided in order to give a rough idea of what's planned and when it may release.
+
+This roadmap will update as new features are planned or completed. If there's a feature you'd like to see but is not listed on this page, please check the GitHub [Issues](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/issues) page and submit a feature request if one does not already exist!
+
+## Priority Levels
+
+Planned features and changes are assigned **priority levels** to signify how important they are to the feature-complete version of TagStudio and to serve as a general guide for what should be worked on first, along with [version estimates](#version-estimates). When features are completed, their priority level icons are removed.
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+!!! info "Priority Level Icons"
+    -   :material-chevron-triple-up:{ .priority-high title="High Priority" } **High Priority** - Core features
+    -   :material-chevron-double-up:{ .priority-med title="Medium Priority" } **Medium Priority** - Important, but not necessary
+    -   :material-chevron-up:{ .priority-low title="Low Priority" } **Low Priority** - Just nice to have
+
+## Version Estimates
+
+Features are given rough estimations for which version they will be completed in, and are listed next to their names (e.g. Feature **[v9.0.0]**). They are eventually replaced with links to the version changelog in which they were completed in, if applicable.
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+!!! tip
+    For a more definitive and up-to-date list of features planned for near-future updates, please reference the current GitHub [Milestones](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/milestones)!

+# :material-sign-text: Style Guide
+
+## Formatting
+
+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 `<component>_view.py` there is a `<component>_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
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+!!! 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.

 Tags are discrete objects that represent some attribute. This could be a person, place, object, concept, and more. Unlike most tagging systems, TagStudio tags are not solely represented by a line of text or a hashtag. Tags in TagStudio consist of several properties and relationships that give extra customization, searching power, and ease of tagging that cannot be achieved by string-based tags alone. TagStudio tags are designed to be as simple or as complex as you'd like, giving options to users of all skill levels and use cases.

+### 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.

 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.

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.

 ## Tag Properties

@@ -88,13 +96,25 @@ Properties are special attributes of tags that change their behavior in some way

 #### 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.

-![Tag Category Example](../assets/tag_categories_example.png)
+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.
+
+![Tag Category Example](assets/tag_categories_example.png)
+
+### 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.

 #### Is Hidden

+    **_Coming in version 9.6.x_**

 When the "Is Hidden" property is checked, any file entries tagged with this tag will not show up in searches by default. This property comes by default with the built-in "Archived" tag.

-# Feature Roadmap
-
-This checklist details the current and remaining features required at a minimum for TagStudio to be considered "Feature Complete". This list is _not_ a definitive list for additional feature requests and PRs as they come in, but rather an outline of my personal core feature set intended for TagStudio.
-
-## Priorities
-
-Features are broken up into the following priority levels, with nested priorities referencing their relative priority for the overall feature (i.e. A [LOW] priority feature can have a [HIGH] priority element but it otherwise still a [LOW] priority item overall):
-
-   [HIGH] - Core feature
-   [MEDIUM] - Important but not necessary
-   [LOW] - Just nice to have
-
-## Version Milestones
-
-These version milestones are rough estimations for when the previous core features will be added. For a more definitive idea for when features are coming, please reference the current GitHub [milestones](https://github.com/TagStudioDev/TagStudio/milestones).

-# Tools & Macros
-
-Tools and macros are features that serve to create a more fluid [library](../library/index.md)-managing process, or provide some extra functionality. Please note that some are still in active development and will be fleshed out in future updates.
-
-## Tools
-
-### Fix Unlinked Entries
-
-This tool displays the number of unlinked [entries](../library/entry.md), and some options for their resolution.
-
-Refresh
-: Scans through the library and updates the unlinked entry count.
-
-Search & Relink
-: Attempts to automatically find and reassign missing files.
-
-Delete Unlinked Entries
-: Displays a confirmation prompt containing the list of all missing files to be deleted before committing to or cancelling the operation.
-
-### Fix Duplicate Files
-
-This tool allows for management of duplicate files in the library using a [DupeGuru](https://dupeguru.voltaicideas.net/) file.
-
-Load DupeGuru File
-: load the "results" file created from a DupeGuru scan
-
-Mirror Entries
-: Duplicate entries will have their contents mirrored across all instances. This allows for duplicate files to then be deleted with DupeGuru as desired, without losing the [field](../library/field.md) data that has been assigned to either. (Once deleted, the "Fix Unlinked Entries" tool can be used to clean up the duplicates)
-
-### Create Collage
-
-This tool is a preview of an upcoming feature. When selected, TagStudio will generate a collage of all the contents in a Library, which can be found in the Library folder ("/your-folder/.TagStudio/collages/"). Note that this feature is still in early development, and doesn't yet offer any customization options.
-
-## Macros
-
-### Auto-fill [WIP]
-
-Tool is in development and will be documented in a future update.
-
-### Sort fields
-
-Tool is in development. Will allow for user-defined sorting of [fields](../library/field.md).
-
-### Folders to Tags
-
-Creates tags from the existing folder structure in the library, which are previewed in a hierarchy view for the user to confirm. A tag will be created for each folder and applied to all entries, with each subfolder being linked to the parent folder as a [parent tag](../library/tag.md#parent-tags). Tags will initially be named after the folders, but can be fully edited and customized afterwards.
