download:

  # Example usage:

  #     - "DHL_5"
  #     - "Hermes"
  excluded_shipping_options: []

  # template for downloaded ad folder names. Default: "ad_{id}_{title}". Text outside {id} and {title} is copied literally. Allowed placeholders: {id}, {title}. Each placeholder may appear at most once. Template must include {id}; {title} is optional
  # Examples (choose one):

  #   • "{title} ({id})"
  #   • "{id}"
  folder_name_template: ad_{id}_{title}

  # template for the downloaded ad YAML stem and image prefix. Default: "ad_{id}". The bot writes the ad config as <base>.yaml and downloaded images as <base>__imgN.<ext>. Text outside {id} and {title} is copied literally. Supported placeholders: {id}, {title}. Each placeholder may appear at most once. Template must include {id}; {title} is optional. Long titles may be truncated to keep filename limits
  # Examples (choose one):
  #   • "ad_{id}"

publishing:

  # when to delete old versions of republished ads
  # Examples (choose one):
  #   • BEFORE_PUBLISH

  # match ads by title when deleting old ads before publish or deleting ID-less ads; ambiguous title matches are skipped
  delete_old_ads_by_title: true

  # local file and folder rename behavior after a successful publish changes the ad ID. When TEMPLATE_MATCH is enabled, the download.folder_name_template and download.ad_file_name_template are used to determine which paths qualify for renaming — only paths whose names match the template structure are updated.
  local_path_renaming:

    # rename local ad files/folders after a successful publish changes the ad ID. OFF keeps existing paths unchanged. TEMPLATE_MATCH only renames paths whose names match the structure defined by download.folder_name_template and download.ad_file_name_template. It replaces any numeric value inside the {id} slot and preserves all other text (including user-edited or previously truncated titles), so changing the download templates also controls which local paths are eligible for renaming.
    # Examples (choose one):
    #   • OFF
    #   • TEMPLATE_MATCH
    mode: OFF
