[QUOTE="Dadeo, post: 814761, member: 27204"] Hi disaster123 - yes the default in AMC is to store the covers in the same folder as the XML database :(. However, you don't have to store them there. I store my covers in a 'pictures' sub folder, but you can store them wherever you wish and set the path in AMC Preferences - Folders - Load Movie Picture (so that AMC finds them). Whatever you choose, My Films can find them - just make sure the folder is set correctly in My Films setup: [LIST=1] [*]If you select a sub folder, then choose Picture handling=relative path and Picture prefix = subfolder name (e.g. Pictures\ in my case) [*]If you select a completely different folder/path, then just select it for Cover Images path and use Picture handling=Full path [/LIST] Double check that AMC Updater uses the same methods if you want all imported films to store covers the same way (see the [URL="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/17_Extensions/3_Plugins/My_Films/Importing_and_Updating/AMC_Updater/Database_Fields_Tab"]Database Fields tab > Picture/Image Handling [/URL]in AMCU setup. If you use full path you can still choose to add a prefix to the picture name if you wish. My Films adds one by default, mainly so you can see what the option does.
