<span id="configfiles"></span><h1>Configuration Files<a class="headerlink" href="#configuration-files" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>QL stores some of its configuration as plain text files, and in some cases
it may be convenient to edit these files directly, or to synchronize them
across different computers/ home directories.</p>
<p>Like many Linux applications, QL stores user configuration in a hidden
directory, in this case <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">~/.quodlibet</span></code>. Feel free to explore; but maybe
make a backup of the directory first.</p>
<div class="section" id="saved-values-for-search-tagging-and-renaming-patterns">
<h2>Saved values for search, tagging and renaming patterns<a class="headerlink" href="#saved-values-for-search-tagging-and-renaming-patterns" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>For <a class="reference internal" href="searching.html#searching"><span class="std std-ref">searching your library</span></a>, <a class="reference internal" href="editing_tags.html#editingtags"><span class="std std-ref">editing tags from a
filename pattern</span></a>, and <a class="reference internal" href="renaming_files.html#renamingfiles"><span class="std std-ref">renaming files based on tags</span></a>, you can save the (search or pattern) values you enter for
later use. See the relevant section for how to do it using the GUI.</p>
<p>The patterns you create using “saved values” are in fact stored in simple
text files:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><ul class="simple">
<li><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">~/.quodlibet/lists/queries.saved</span></code>:
Search patterns</li>
<li><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">~/.quodlibet/lists/tagpatterns.saved</span></code>:
Patterns to tag files based on filename</li>
<li><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">~/.quodlibet/lists/renamepatterns.saved</span></code>:
Patterns to rename files based on tags</li>
</ul>
</div></blockquote>
<p>You’ll see that the format is very easy: Each saved pattern consists of two
lines, the first line contains the QL pattern, the second line its name.
The name may be identical to the pattern. The next saved “pattern – name”
pair follows immediately on the next two lines.</p>
<p>Here’s an example of what <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">~/.quodlibet/lists/queries.saved</span></code> might look
like:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">artist</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">schubert</span>
<span class="n">All</span> <span class="n">by</span> <span class="n">Schubert</span>
<span class="n">artist</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">radiohead</span>
<span class="n">All</span> <span class="n">by</span> <span class="n">Radiohead</span>
<span class="o">&</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">genre</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">classical</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="c1">#(lastplayed > 3 days))</span>

<span class="o">~</span><span class="nb">format</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">ogg</span>
<span class="n">All</span> <span class="n">ogg</span> <span class="n">files</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Or an example of a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">~/.quodlibet/lists/renamepatterns.saved</span></code>:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="o">~/</span><span class="n">music</span><span class="o">/<</span><span class="n">artist</span><span class="o">>/<</span><span class="n">album</span><span class="o">>/<</span><span class="n">tracknumber</span><span class="o">|<</span><span class="n">tracknumber</span><span class="o">>.</span> <span class="o">><</span><span class="n">title</span><span class="o">~</span><span class="n">version</span><span class="o">></span>
