The config file contains the global configuration of all libraries.
Here you can define the file structure and naming convention for each of the libraries.

When creating you new setup for the software you can specify the file location.
The file can be stored everywhere. The setup file referenced to this config file.

By default it is stored in your local user home directory

Linux/Mac

Library file

A library contains a collection elements.

Each library exists of two parts:

1. Library file
   contains the configuration of the library, like value overwrites and transcoding templates.
   {library_name}.lib - file content is JSON format

2. Database
   holds all information about the elements of this library
   for SQLite: {library_name}.db

Define the file structure in the global settings (config file) and overwrite values or path patterns that are relevant for this library. This way the naming convention stays consistent over all libraries, but you can control individual parts by overwriting values depending on this specific library.
