Output Templates & Naming

MetaForge provides a flexible template system for naming and organizing output files.

Available Tokens

| Token | Description | |-------|-------------| | {title} | Media title (keeps articles at start: "The Matrix") | | {folder_title} | Title with articles moved to end ("Matrix, The") | | {year} | Release year | | {season} | Season number | | {episode} | Episode number | | {quality} | Video quality string | | {codec} | Video codec name | | {ext} | File extension | | {source} | Source badge name |

Format Specifiers

| Specifier | Example | |-----------|---------| | {season:02} | 01, 02, 10 | | {episode:02} | 01, 02, 10 | | {episode:03} | 001, 002, 010 |

Presets

Four built-in presets demonstrate common patterns:

1. Default — {title} ({year}).{ext}
2. TV Show — {title}/Season {season:02}/{title} - S{season:02}E{episode:02}.{ext}
3. Article-Moved Folder — {folder_title} ({year})/{title} ({year}).{ext}
4. Flat with Specs — {title} ({year}) [{quality}] [{codec}].{ext}

The Article-Moved Folder preset demonstrates the key difference:

• {folder_title} → "Matrix, The (1999)" for directory names
• {title} → "The Matrix (1999)" for file names
