e.g. if Photo keywords are `["FOO","bar"]`:

* `"{keyword|upper}"` renders to: `"FOO", "BAR"`

- `"{keyword|lower|parens}"` renders to: `"(foo)", "(bar)"`
e.g. if Photo description is "my description":
* `"{descr|titlecase}"` renders to: `"My Description"`
- `"{descr|titlecase}"` renders to: `"My Description"`
e.g. If Photo is in `Album1` in `Folder1`:
* `"{folder_album}"` renders to `["Folder1/Album1"]`
* `"{folder_album(>)}"` renders to `["Folder1>Album1"]`
* `"{folder_album()}"` renders to `["Folder1Album1"]`
- `"{folder_album}"` renders to `["Folder1/Album1"]`
- `"{folder_album(>)}"` renders to `["Folder1>Album1"]`
- `"{folder_album()}"` renders to `["Folder1Album1"]`
`[find,replace]`: optional text replacement to perform on rendered template value. For example, to replace "/" in an album name, you could use the template `"{album[/,-]}"`. Multiple replacements can be made by appending "|" and adding another find|replace pair. e.g. to replace both "/" and ":" in album name: `"{album[/,-|:,-]}"`. find/replace pairs are not limited to single characters. The "|" character cannot be used in a find/replace pair.
`conditional`: optional conditional expression that is evaluated as boolean (True/False) for use with the `?bool_value` modifier. Conditional expressions take the form '`not operator value`' where `not` is an optional modifier that negates the `operator`. Note: the space before the conditional expression is required if you use a conditional expression. Valid comparison operators are:
* `contains`: template field contains value, similar to python's `in`
* `matches`: template field contains exactly value, unlike `contains`: does not match partial matches
* `startswith`: template field starts with value
* `endswith`: template field ends with value
* `<=`: template field is less than or equal to value
* `>=`: template field is greater than or equal to value
* `<`: template field is less than value
* `>`: template field is greater than value
* `==`: template field equals value
* `!=`: template field does not equal value
- `contains`: template field contains value, similar to python's `in`
- `matches`: template field contains exactly value, unlike `contains`: does not match partial matches
- `startswith`: template field starts with value
- `endswith`: template field ends with value
- `<=`: template field is less than or equal to value
- `>=`: template field is greater than or equal to value
- `<`: template field is less than value
- `>`: template field is greater than value
- `==`: template field equals value
- `!=`: template field does not equal value
The `value` part of the conditional expression is treated as a bare (unquoted) word/phrase. Multiple values may be separated by '|' (the pipe symbol). `value` is itself a template statement so you can use one or more template fields in `value` which will be resolved before the comparison occurs.
For example:
* `{keyword matches Beach}` resolves to True if 'Beach' is a keyword. It would not match keyword 'BeachDay'.
* `{keyword contains Beach}` resolves to True if any keyword contains the word 'Beach' so it would match both 'Beach' and 'BeachDay'.
* `{photo.score.overall > 0.7}` resolves to True if the photo's overall aesthetic score is greater than 0.7.
* `{keyword|lower contains beach}` uses the lower case filter to do case-insensitive matching to match any keyword that contains the word 'beach'.
* `{keyword|lower not contains beach}` uses the `not` modifier to negate the comparison so this resolves to True if there is no keyword that matches 'beach'.
- `{keyword matches Beach}` resolves to True if 'Beach' is a keyword. It would not match keyword 'BeachDay'.
- `{keyword contains Beach}` resolves to True if any keyword contains the word 'Beach' so it would match both 'Beach' and 'BeachDay'.
- `{photo.score.overall > 0.7}` resolves to True if the photo's overall aesthetic score is greater than 0.7.
- `{keyword|lower contains beach}` uses the lower case filter to do case-insensitive matching to match any keyword that contains the word 'beach'.
- `{keyword|lower not contains beach}` uses the `not` modifier to negate the comparison so this resolves to True if there is no keyword that matches 'beach'.

e.g. if photo is an HDR image,
* `"{hdr?ISHDR,NOTHDR}"` renders to `"ISHDR"`
- `"{hdr?ISHDR,NOTHDR}"` renders to `"ISHDR"`
and if it is not an HDR image,
* `"{hdr?ISHDR,NOTHDR}"` renders to `"NOTHDR"`
- `"{hdr?ISHDR,NOTHDR}"` renders to `"NOTHDR"`
`,default`: optional default value to use if the template name has no value. This modifier is also used for the value if False for boolean-type fields (see above) as well as to hold a sub-template for values like `{created.strftime}`. If no default value provided, "_" is used.
e.g., if photo has no title set,
* `"{title}"` renders to "_"
* `"{title,I have no title}"` renders to `"I have no title"`
- `"{title}"` renders to "_"
- `"{title,I have no title}"` renders to `"I have no title"`
Template fields such as `created.strftime` use the default value to pass the template to use for `strftime`.
e.g., if photo date is 4 February 2020, 19:07:38,
* `"{created.strftime,%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S}"` renders to `"2020-02-04-190738"`
- `"{created.strftime,%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S}"` renders to `"2020-02-04-190738"`
Some template fields such as `"{media_type}"` use the default value to allow customization of the output. For example, `"{media_type}"` resolves to the special media type of the photo such as `panorama` or `selfie`. You may use the default value to override these in form: `"{media_type,video=vidéo;time_lapse=vidéo_accélérée}"`. In this example, if photo was a time_lapse photo, `media_type` would resolve to `vidéo_accélérée` instead of `time_lapse`.

- `chomp(x)`: Remove x characters from the beginning of value, e.g. chomp(1): ['Value'] => ['alue']; when applied to a list, removes characters from each list value, e.g. chomp(1): ['travel', 'beach']=> ['ravel', 'each'].
- `sort`: Sort list of values, e.g. ['c', 'b', 'a'] => ['a', 'b', 'c'].
- `rsort`: Sort list of values in reverse order, e.g. ['a', 'b', 'c'] => ['c', 'b', 'a'].
- `reverse`: Reverse order of values, e.g. ['a', 'b', 'c'] => ['c', 'b', 'a'].
- `uniq`: Remove duplicate values, e.g. ['a', 'b', 'c', 'b', 'a'] => ['a', 'b', 'c'].
- `join(x)`: Join list of values with delimiter x, e.g. join(:): ['a', 'b', 'c'] => 'a:b:c'; the DELIM option functions similar to join(x) but with DELIM, the join happens before being passed to any filters.
- `append(x)`: Append x to list of values, e.g. append(d): ['a', 'b', 'c'] => ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'].
- `prepend(x)`: Prepend x to list of values, e.g. prepend(d): ['a', 'b', 'c'] => ['d', 'a', 'b', 'c'].
- `remove(x)`: Remove x from list of values, e.g. remove(b): ['a', 'b', 'c'] => ['a', 'c'].
e.g. if Photo keywords are `["FOO","bar"]`:
* `"{keyword|lower}"` renders to `"foo", "bar"`
* `"{keyword|upper}"` renders to: `"FOO", "BAR"`
* `"{keyword|capitalize}"` renders to: `"Foo", "Bar"`
* `"{keyword|lower|parens}"` renders to: `"(foo)", "(bar)"`
- `"{keyword|lower}"` renders to `"foo", "bar"`
- `"{keyword|upper}"` renders to: `"FOO", "BAR"`
- `"{keyword|capitalize}"` renders to: `"Foo", "Bar"`
- `"{keyword|lower|parens}"` renders to: `"(foo)", "(bar)"`
e.g. if Photo description is "my description":
* `"{descr|titlecase}"` renders to: `"My Description"`
- `"{descr|titlecase}"` renders to: `"My Description"`
e.g. If Photo is in `Album1` in `Folder1`:
* `"{folder_album}"` renders to `["Folder1/Album1"]`
* `"{folder_album(>)}"` renders to `["Folder1>Album1"]`
* `"{folder_album()}"` renders to `["Folder1Album1"]`
- `"{folder_album}"` renders to `["Folder1/Album1"]`
- `"{folder_album(>)}"` renders to `["Folder1>Album1"]`
- `"{folder_album()}"` renders to `["Folder1Album1"]`
`[find,replace]`: optional text replacement to perform on rendered template value. For example, to replace "/" in an album name, you could use the template `"{album[/,-]}"`. Multiple replacements can be made by appending "|" and adding another find|replace pair. e.g. to replace both "/" and ":" in album name: `"{album[/,-|:,-]}"`. find/replace pairs are not limited to single characters. The "|" character cannot be used in a find/replace pair.
`conditional`: optional conditional expression that is evaluated as boolean (True/False) for use with the `?bool_value` modifier. Conditional expressions take the form '`not operator value`' where `not` is an optional modifier that negates the `operator`. Note: the space before the conditional expression is required if you use a conditional expression. Valid comparison operators are:
* `contains`: template field contains value, similar to python's `in`
* `matches`: template field contains exactly value, unlike `contains`: does not match partial matches
* `startswith`: template field starts with value
* `endswith`: template field ends with value
* `<=`: template field is less than or equal to value
* `>=`: template field is greater than or equal to value
* `<`: template field is less than value
* `>`: template field is greater than value
* `==`: template field equals value
* `!=`: template field does not equal value
- `contains`: template field contains value, similar to python's `in`
- `matches`: template field contains exactly value, unlike `contains`: does not match partial matches
- `startswith`: template field starts with value
- `endswith`: template field ends with value
- `<=`: template field is less than or equal to value
- `>=`: template field is greater than or equal to value
- `<`: template field is less than value
- `>`: template field is greater than value
- `==`: template field equals value
- `!=`: template field does not equal value
The `value` part of the conditional expression is treated as a bare (unquoted) word/phrase. Multiple values may be separated by '|' (the pipe symbol). `value` is itself a template statement so you can use one or more template fields in `value` which will be resolved before the comparison occurs.
For example:
* `{keyword matches Beach}` resolves to True if 'Beach' is a keyword. It would not match keyword 'BeachDay'.
* `{keyword contains Beach}` resolves to True if any keyword contains the word 'Beach' so it would match both 'Beach' and 'BeachDay'.
* `{photo.score.overall > 0.7}` resolves to True if the photo's overall aesthetic score is greater than 0.7.
* `{keyword|lower contains beach}` uses the lower case filter to do case-insensitive matching to match any keyword that contains the word 'beach'.
* `{keyword|lower not contains beach}` uses the `not` modifier to negate the comparison so this resolves to True if there is no keyword that matches 'beach'.
- `{keyword matches Beach}` resolves to True if 'Beach' is a keyword. It would not match keyword 'BeachDay'.
- `{keyword contains Beach}` resolves to True if any keyword contains the word 'Beach' so it would match both 'Beach' and 'BeachDay'.
- `{photo.score.overall > 0.7}` resolves to True if the photo's overall aesthetic score is greater than 0.7.
- `{keyword|lower contains beach}` uses the lower case filter to do case-insensitive matching to match any keyword that contains the word 'beach'.
- `{keyword|lower not contains beach}` uses the `not` modifier to negate the comparison so this resolves to True if there is no keyword that matches 'beach'.

e.g. if photo is an HDR image,
* `"{hdr?ISHDR,NOTHDR}"` renders to `"ISHDR"`
- `"{hdr?ISHDR,NOTHDR}"` renders to `"ISHDR"`
and if it is not an HDR image,
* `"{hdr?ISHDR,NOTHDR}"` renders to `"NOTHDR"`
- `"{hdr?ISHDR,NOTHDR}"` renders to `"NOTHDR"`
`,default`: optional default value to use if the template name has no value. This modifier is also used for the value if False for boolean-type fields (see above) as well as to hold a sub-template for values like `{created.strftime}`. If no default value provided, "_" is used.
e.g., if photo has no title set,
* `"{title}"` renders to "_"
* `"{title,I have no title}"` renders to `"I have no title"`
- `"{title}"` renders to "_"
- `"{title,I have no title}"` renders to `"I have no title"`
Template fields such as `created.strftime` use the default value to pass the template to use for `strftime`.
e.g., if photo date is 4 February 2020, 19:07:38,
* `"{created.strftime,%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S}"` renders to `"2020-02-04-190738"`
- `"{created.strftime,%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S}"` renders to `"2020-02-04-190738"`
Some template fields such as `"{media_type}"` use the default value to allow customization of the output. For example, `"{media_type}"` resolves to the special media type of the photo such as `panorama` or `selfie`. You may use the default value to override these in form: `"{media_type,video=vidéo;time_lapse=vidéo_accélérée}"`. In this example, if photo was a time_lapse photo, `media_type` would resolve to `vidéo_accélérée` instead of `time_lapse`.
