Hy.. i think there is a missing option in the libraries.
I use to love having all my library exported in .nfo files (as actors/fanarts/thumbs) ... I think it's great having them in that way because I can give a folder with a film to someone, and he don't need to download the metadata.
Now to perform this I usually use the option "export to separate files with fanarts and everything" but as my DB is comming greater, this option is going slower. And I realise that 90% of this time spent was rewrinting information that I allready have.
I understand having the database in a sql engine, can be great for querying and for browsing, so I'm sure the SQL DB it's necessary I'm only asking me if having an online replicated db in .nfo files can cause a great slow down of the system, I'm quite sure this option should not put an extreme overhead writing, the library is rarely updated (downloading metadata is the hardiest work, but beside that, updating the field watched, or the watch counter)
maybe there can be an option in the setting for:
Automatic Export/Update library in separated files
can be a great thing.
