OPTIONS

20       Ex Falso may be given a directory to open on the command line.
21

TIED TAGS

23       Many places in Ex Falso allow you to use "tied tags". Tied tags are two
24       tag   names   joined  together  with  a  "~"  like  "title~version"  or
25       "album~part".  Tied tags result in "nice" displays even when one of the
26       tags   is   missing;   for  example,  "title~version"  will  result  in
27       Title - Version when a version tag is present, but only Title when  one
28       isn't. You can tie any number of tags together.
29

RENAMING FILES

31       Ex  Falso allows you to rename files based on their tags. In some cases
32       you may wish to alter the filename depending on whether some  tags  are
33       present or missing, in addition to their values. A common pattern might
34       be
35           <tracknumber>. <title~version>
36       You can use a '|' to only text when a tag is present:
37           <tracknumber|<tracknumber>. ><title~version>
38       You can also specify literal text to use  if  the  tag  is  missing  by
39       adding another '|':
40           <album|<album>|No Album> - <title>
