I like to request XBMC looking at a define fanart directory for fanart pictures
something along a line in source.xml like
<fanart>d:\xbmc\userdata\fanarts</fanart>

i'll third this idea. I've noticed my directories getting extremely cluttered by all the stuff for xbmc. This obviously isn't a problem if all you use to watch this stuff is xbmc, but i also use the computer to watch stuff, and when you have a movie, an nfo file, fanart, a trailer, and a .tbn icon, suddenly 60 movies takes up the space of 300, and things start getting confusing or at least tiresome on the eyes to navigate and look at. Optimally, I'd like to be able to put all that stuff in a separate directory so all you see are the movies in the original folder, though I don't know if this might affect performance negatively in any way.

Thanks for the hint. Hopefully It's not too difficult to get going.

Hey all. I found the location of the fanart;
C:\Users\*USERNAME*\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\Thumbnails\Music\Fanart
but it is only broken out into Music or Video. There is no deliniation between Movies and TV unfortunately. But that's the path to navigate to to pull from the scraped fanart for things like multi-image backdrops for your menu etc.
