Path patterns dictate where and how a file will be saved. Various variables and options are available, and you may use subdirectories divided by `/`.
### Variables
#### Post
* `$postId`: The ID of the reddit post
* `$postTitle`: The title of the reddit post
* `$postUser`: The user that submitted the post, almost always equivalent to the `--user` command line argument
* `$postDate`: The submission date of the reddit post, formatted by the `dateformat` configuration described below
* `$postIndex`: The index of the post according to the sort method
#### Album
* `$albumId`: The ID of the media host album
* `$albumTitle`: The title of the media host album
* `$albumDescription`: The description of the media host album
* `$albumDate`: The submission date of the media host album, formatted by the `dateformat` configuration described below
#### Item (individual image, video or text)
* `$itemId`: The ID of the individual image or video
* `$itemTitle`: The title of the individual image or video
* `$itemDescription`: The description of the individual image or video
* `$itemDate`: The submission date of the individual image or video, formatted by the `dateformat` configuration described below
* `$itemIndex`: The index of the individual image or video in an album, offset by the `indexOffset` configuration described below
* `$ext`: The extension of the file. Must typically be included, but may be omitted for self (text) posts on Unix systems
* `$ext`: The extension of the medium. Must typically be included, but may be omitted for self (text) posts on Unix systems
### Date format
### `dateFormat`
Affects the representation of `$postDate`, `$albumDate` and `$itemDate` and defaults to `YYYYMMDD`. See [this documentation](https://date-fns.org/v1.29.0/docs/format) for an overview of all available tokens.
### Index offset
### `titleLimit`
Titles can sometimes be longer than you prefer your filenames to be, or even overflow the operating system's limit (255 bytes for Linux). This property cuts off titles at a fixed number of characters.
### `indexOffset`
Arrays start at 0, but as to not tire myself out debating the matter, you may offset it my any numerical value you like. Affects the `$itemIndex` variable for album items.
### Slash substitute
### `slashSubstitute`
The patterns represent Unix file paths, and a `/` therefore indicates a new directory. You may freely use directories in your paths, but titles or descriptions may contain a `/` that is not supposed to create a new directory. All instances of `/` in a variable value will be replaced with the configured slash substitute.
