Hello,
I want to have all artwork in another location , what i know that kodi add all artwork to the movies folder 
So Movies Path W:\Movies  and i hope to add all artwork to D:\Artwork  artwork beef

Yes you can do that, see https://kodi.wiki/view/Path_substitution

You sure that will work? Never tried it, but I cannot see how that will work. Artwork is in one folder, movie file is in another folder, so how are the two folders combined to read as one? Where in Path Substitution do you specify that it applies to artwork only? It also assumes that the artwork folder structure is identical to the movie folder structure.

Yeah probably not I misread it and thought he wanted to move the cache!

Given the size of any artwork files I wouldn't think the space saved would be worth moving to another drive anyway?

Ok, no problems.

I did try to find advancedsettings.xml but its not there !

I do want my artwork to be in another drive because i use google drive for all my backups  and mount them through file stream and upload artwork could hit api limit and get 24 hour ban!
And the 2nd reason i want the artwork to load faster

I did try to make shortcut and add it to kodi , but kodi don't see the shortcuts

Unless you are using the older extrafanart folder, artwork should be cached so there shouldn't be that many file requests I would think?
