Naming templates

What it is for

Section titled “What it is for”

Naming templates describe the layout Kaveo renames files into — on import, and when you tidy a library folder.

Settings › Library › Naming: the Available tokens panel open above the Standard, Plex and Kodi presets, the Options rows, and the Movies and TV Series templates each with the name it renders

How to use it

Section titled “How to use it”

Set your templates

Section titled “Set your templates”
  1. Open Settings › Library › Naming. A preset — Standard, Plex or Kodi — replaces every field except Music naming, the Anime ones included.
  2. Edit a template under Movies, TV Series or Music naming: click in a field, then click a token under Available tokens to add it to the end.
  3. Under Options, set Colon replacement, Episode title language (English or Same as the interface) and Use dots instead of spaces.
  4. Click Save. The naming templates changed then offers Show me what would change — a preview across your whole library — or Not now.

The naming templates changed: the message saying the titles already in your library still carry the old names and that nothing moves until you confirm, with Not now beside Show me what would change

Name anime differently

Section titled “Name anime differently”

The Anime group: Season folder, Episode file, Movie folder and Movie file all empty under the line that says an empty field names anime like everything else, with the anime episode preview below them

  1. Under Anime, fill in Episode file (anime) — for example {Series Title} - {episode:00}.
  2. Leave the other three empty to name anime like everything else, then click Save.

Good to know

Section titled “Good to know”
  • A token is typed exactly as shown, such as {Movie Title}; wrap a part in another pair — { ({Release Year})} — to write it only when its token has a value.
  • {Quality Full} turns a release’s own words into one name, such as Bluray-1080p: the source is read from the file’s name, then its folder, and the picture size is measured from the file.
  • With a TMDB API key (Settings › Metadata; Metadata), titles are filed under their official English names rather than the ones read from the files.
