I love XBMC and it's neat how I can easily download covers and such, but they get stored in the XBMC library somewhere. This means that when I have hard drive problems or change hard drives or in some cases, or if I reorganize my library, the information is lost and I have to start over.
I could manually copy it, but it would be so much easier if I could just direct XBMC to take the selected cover or fanart and place it in the folder with the given movie or TV show (like when I make them manually). That way, no matter what happens, my chosen art settings will be preserved and don't have to be redone.
For example:
I have Harry_Potter.mp4. Let's say that I haven't already created a Harry_Potter.tbn and Harry_Potter-fanart.jpg file. I want to be able to scrape the file, auto-download the nfo and then choose an online thumb and fanart, but have those selected files stored with the movie instead of in the XBMC settings folder.
