# Save Multiple Artwork Items to Folder

When saving multiple artwork items to a folder you can select components which determine how the files are named. Component types are separated by -. The following is a list of the available component types in the order in which they are applied:

> Filename Prototype
>   Any text to start the file name. If all available components are not selected and this field is empty, Yate Artwork will be assumed.
> Append album name
>   The name of the album containing the artwork item. If more than one album contains the artwork item, the first's album name will be used.
> Append artwork description
>   The name of the artwork item's description field.
> Append picture type
>   The artwork item's picture type.
> Append index in list
>   The index, ordinal 1, of the artwork item in the effective list of selected artwork items.

A fully populated file name will be:

> prototype - album name - description - picture type - index

If an artwork item is not a jpg or png image, the written file will have the format specified in Preferences-Artwork-Default Format.

Every item being saved is guaranteed to have a unique name for the operation. If it is not unique, (#) will be appended. Any pre-existing files of the same names in the chosen folder will be overwritten.
