## Editing the configuration file

You can make changes to Konsync's configuration file according to your needs. Konsync will check for `./config.taml` by default unless a config file or sync location is specified.
For KDE Plasma users, the configuration file will be pre-configured.

### Format

The configuration file should be formatted in the following way:

```yaml
sync_dir:
	placeholder:  # this is required due to the way the parsing functions were written
		location:
save:
	name:
		location: "path/to/parent/directory"
		entries:
		# These are files to be backed up.
		# They should be present in the specified location.
			- file1
			- file2
			- folder1/
			- folder2/file3
export:
	# This includes files which will be exported with your profile.
	# They will not be saved but only be exported and imported.
	# These may include files like complete icon packs and themes..
	name:
		location: "path/to/parent/directory"
		entries:
			- file1
			- file2
```

### Adding more files/folders to backup

You can add more files/folders in the configuration file like this:

```yaml
save:
	another_name:
		location: "another/path/to/parent/directory"
		entries:
			- file1
```

### Using placeholders

You can use a few placeholders in the `location` of each entry in the configuration file. These are:
`$HOME`: the home directory
`$CONFIG_DIR`: refers to "$HOME/.config/"
`$SHARE_DIR`: refers to "$HOME/.local/share"
`$BIN_DIR`: refers to "$HOME/.local/bin"
`${ENDS_WITH="text"}`: for folders with different names on different computers whose names end with the same thing.  
The best example for this is the ".default-release" folder of firefox.  
`${BEGINS_WITH="text"}`: for folders with different names on different computers whose names start with the same thing.

```yaml
save:
	firefox:
		location: "$HOME/.mozilla/firefox/${ENDS_WITH='.default-release'}"
		entries:
			- chrome
```
