I'll use your way for now, but having to manually update the backdrops folder everytime will be annoying. Hopefully the auto-separation can be added in future updates of this great skin
On a related note, I've noticed that each movie folder in my library has a "fanart.jpg" and a "[movie title]-fanart.jpg". I under Ember MM...is this normal? They're identical files and I can't understand why there are two copies? Does XBMC scrape one image while Ember scrapes the other one?
Check your Ember fanart settings under the movie options. Sounds like you have more than 1 option set to store fanart.
As for making the fanart copying easier.
Open up Windows Explorer, navigate to the root folder that contains your TV Shows.
In the search box in the upper right-hand corner type in "fanart.jpg". It will then list all the fanart.jpg in all the subfolders that your shows are in.
Highlight the list, copy/paste to new folder.
It's just 3 steps really. I have around 70 TV shows, total size of the fanart folder is less than 60MB
Edit: Support I should add that I do this using Windows 7. Also regarding posts about "new" items. Just do the search and copy/paste all the contents, really it takes seconds to copy them all and overwrite what's already there, so no need to "fish through" finding new art. We are just talking about small jpeg files here, even the 1080 fanart. This also makes it possible to cycle TV and Movie fanart with skins that don't have Aeon's option.
