-## Feature Roadmap
+<br>
 
-The [Feature Roadmap](./updates/roadmap.md) lists all of the planned core features for TagStudio to be considered "feature complete" along with estimated release milestones. The development and testing of these features takes priority over all other requested or submitted features unless they are later added to this roadmap. This helps ensure that TagStudio eventually sees a full release and becomes more usable by more people more quickly.

-### 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.
+**TagStudio** is a photo & file organization application with an underlying tag-based system that focuses on giving freedom and flexibility to the user. No proprietary programs or formats, no sea of sidecar files, and no complete upheaval of your filesystem structure.
 
-### 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 and combine Boolean operators (`AND`, `OR`, `NOT`) along with parentheses groups, quotation escaping, and underscore substitution to create detailed search queries
--   Use special search conditions (`special:untagged`) to find file entries without tags or fields, respectively

-### File Entries
+-   :material-file-multiple:{ .lg .middle } **[All Files](./library/entry.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 "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.

-# Feature Roadmap
+---
+icon: material/map-check
+---
 
-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.
+# :material-map-check: Roadmap
 
-## Priorities
+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.
 
-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):
+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!
 
--   [HIGH] - Core feature
--   [MEDIUM] - Important but not necessary
--   [LOW] - Just nice to have
+## Priority Levels
 
-## Version Milestones
+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.
 
-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).

+
+## 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.

+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`.
+

+  versions {

+<!-- 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](../library/index.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/Website/*.css
+
+# Documents

+*.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
