I read a thread fairly recently about new proposals for adding extended artwork in Matrix. If I remember correctly, you had expressed some concerns as you store custom artwork files that you have created in the same folder as your library video files, along with the other regular artwork needed in Kodi.
I'm the same, I create a folder called 'Artwork' in in my library item folders which is where I keep all the master GIMP files for titles that require new artwork (Normally because it doesn't exist). I also use this folder to store other GIMP files and alternative artwork files that are maybe different to the final artwork I'm actually using in Kodi.
This seemed the most logical place to store these files, as they can be located very easily. I've been using Matrix for a few weeks now and I've notice when choosing extended artwork via the Video Info Dialog, I have a folder folder showing up in the results called 'Icon' which I think might be my artwork folder.
I never saw the outcome of your discussion on the original thread I read, but just wanted to make sure I would still be okay to continue using my existing method for storing artwork I create. I would hate to find my artwork folder(s) and all of their contents suddenly gone through any planned update for adding extending artwork in the future on Matrix.
Grateful for any feedback you could give.
Cheers
