Moving Pictures actually leaves the cover/backdrops images alone when it removes a movie, but your movie detail modifications would get lost. So storing those in the NFO files generated by this handy app would solve that. Just make sure you place the XBMC scraper at the top position when you reimport your collection, otherwise the IMDb scraper would still try to obtain all the information.PS: Next time if you place those movies on an external drive from the start, you can add them inside MovingPictures and when you disconnect the drive, the movie will not be deleted. So the moment you reconnect the drive, all those movies will be available again. Moving Pictures has full support to detect removable media, and not just optical media, but also removable harddisks and such. It can even display the movie in your list and when you try to play it, it will alert you to insert/connect the media to play it.PS2: So what you could do is; connect the external drive, create a folder on it &quot;Movies&quot; or something, and configure MovingPictures to accept that as import path, i.e. &quot;E:\Movies&quot;. Then keep Moving Pictures open, and use Windows Explorer to move the files into the new folder. Moving Pictures will detect it is the same movie and will only adjust the location reference, keeping all the other information. So that would be an easier way, especially since it automatically allows you to reconnect that drive and have all the movies on it instantly be available. But the NFOs would work as well.</blockquote>
