[QUOTE="rich110, post: 402713, member: 13795"] I have a fanart image and poster image in each of my individual movies directories. They are named either "fanart.jpg", "<movie name>-fanart.jpg" (for fanart) and "folder.jpg" for posters. I have Moving Pictures configured to search for these files during import, but I was wondering exactly how Moving Pictures handles these files, in particular, does it simply make a link to the local file or does it place a copy of the file in the Moving Pictures database directory. The reason I ask is because, when I look at the individual details for each imported movie, Moving Pictures says the fanart image is located at "[B]C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Thumbs\MovingPictures\Backdrops\FullSize\[/B]" rather in the local movies directory where all my preferred fanart/posters are stored. Is Moving Pictures actually using my image files, or is it still downloading it's own versions? Cheers, Rich [/QUOTE]
