# Naming Templates
File and Folder names can be customized using Libation's built-in tag template naming engine. To edit how folder and file names are created, go to Settings \> Download/Decrypt and edit the naming templates. If you're splitting your audiobook into multiple files by chapter, you can also use a custom template to set each chapter's title metadata tag by editing the template in Settings \> Audio File Options.
These templates apply to both GUI and CLI.

# Template Tags
These are the naming template tags currently supported by Libation.
## Property Tags
These tags will be replaced in the template with the audiobook's values.
|Tag|Description|Type|
|-|-|-|
|\<id\> **†**|Audible book ID (ASIN)|Text|
|\<title\>|Full title|Text|
|\<title short\>|Title. Stop at first colon|Text|
|\<author\>|Author(s)|Name List|
|\<first author\>|First author|Text|
|\<narrator\>|Narrator(s)|Name List|
|\<first narrator\>|First narrator|Text|
|\<series\>|Name of series|Text|

|\<ch# 0\> **‡**|Chapter number with leading zeros|Integer|
**†** Does not support custom formatting
**‡** Only valid for Chapter Filename and Chapter Tile Metadata
To change how these properties are displayed, [read about custom formatters](#tag-formatters)
## Conditional Tags
Anything between the opening tag (`<tagname->`) and closing tag (`<-tagname>`) will only appear in the name if the condition evaluates to true.
|Tag|Description|Type|
|-|-|-|
|\<if series-\>...\<-if series\>|Only include if part of a book series or podcast|Conditional|
|\<if podcast-\>...\<-if podcast\>|Only include if part of a podcast|Conditional|
|\<if bookseries-\>...\<-if bookseries\>|Only include if part of a book series|Conditional|
|\<if podcastparent-\>...\<-if podcastparent\>**†**|Only include if item is a podcast series parent|Conditional|
**†** Only affects the podcast series folder naming if "Save all podcast episodes to the series parent folder" option is checked.
For example, <if podcast-\>\<series\>\<-if podcast\> will evaluate to the podcast's series name if the file is a podcast. For audiobooks that are not podcasts, that tag will be blank.
You can invert the condition (instead of displaying the text when the condition is true, display the text when it is false) by playing a '!' symbol before the opening tag name.
As an example, this folder template will place all Liberated podcasts into a "Podcasts" folder and all liberated books (not podcasts) into a "Books" folder.
\<if podcast-\>Podcasts<-if podcast\>\<!if podcast-\>Books\<-if podcast\>\\\<title\>
# Tag Formatters
**Text**, **Name List**, **Integer**, and **DateTime** tags can be optionally formatted using format text in square brackets after the tag name. Below is a list of supported formatters for each tag type.
