That's good to hear

It already has to many options as it is and i don't know if it's possible. If it was other add-ons would have done it to i guess

Yeah, it turns out Memphiz as per usual came up with a temporary NFS fix that solved the whole "can't write to NAS via NFS" problem

Maybe I didn't clearly explain what I was asking about. It just seems to me that if your addon is already set up so that it displays "Searching for Artwork" in the place where the scrapers normally show their status as they trudge through our video libraries, and since your addon does have a mode where it shows information about what's being downloaded, could not that information be displayed in the area where "Searching for Artwork" is (since you apparently already know how to display things there)?

I guess my point is that when the option to run this addon in the background is enabled, we get the initial "Searching for Artwork" text, but then that disappears, and it's anyone's guess as to when it'll be done, or if it's even working. We only know things are okay once it posts the "completed" message at the end, but in between we have no idea what's going on.

In contrast, when the movie/TV show scraper goes through and does its thing, we can move around XBMC while it does so, and still keep an eye on how it's doing because it displays what it's doing in that upper right corner. It'd be nice if Artwork Downloader did the same thing, when it's set to run in background--just have the status up there saying the name of the movie/TV show, and what it's downloading for that (banner.jpg, poster.jpg, or whatever at the time).

Does that make sense? Why do I get the feeling you're sitting there reading this and shaking your fist at the screen and saying "YES, I get it, you moron, I helped write the damned thing!!" lol
