After participating in a thread recently regarding XBMC's handling of the export process of the image cache, I'll submit a request for options in the export as separate files action.
It would be handy to have options to not include artwork in the export process, as it often duplicates what users already have in their directories if they are Artwork Downloader addon users. XBMC will append -art.xxx to the video file name and add it to the directory, duplicating the poster.jpg, logo.png, etc... that are already local.
Additionally, an option to export the thumbnail cache with a different syntax would be handy as well. Such as "export art with movie-art.xxx naming convention", or with "artwork downloader naming convention". That's not an elegant verbiage, obviously, but hopefully the idea is conveyed.
Also, there has been requests in the past for "export from here" options in the context menu. I'd like to put forth this request again. Below are some references to requests in the recent past.
