The question is in the title : I downloaded all metadata and artwork for a movie and its corresponding set using Artwork beef.
I first import the movie strm with Osmosis from PKC addon
Then scraped the movie with tmdb and get info on the movie and set
Then get all the artwork downloaded on the movie folder, I used artwork beef both for the movie and movie set
Then made a library export to get the nfo and actor thumbnails in the movie folder.
While I can see all the artwork and nfo in the movie folder, I can't find if some folder structure has been created somewhere for the set.
Am I missing something ?

Using v20 Nexus, for some reason I thought movie set posters that the scrapers provide were being downloaded to my local folders when I ran Artwork Dump Download. Checking, I see they are not. So, I want movie set posters local like all my other artwork understanding they can't be downloaded to the actual title folders but instead to its own MSIF.
I think I need to add a Movie Art Types Whitelist for movie set posters? What is the name I should use for the whitelist? (moviesetposter or something?) I have setup a MSIF that isn't inside a movie or tv show folder and pointed Kodi to it . Then ran an export but none of my movie set folders were automatically created in the MSIF let alone the posters. Nothing happens. I assume because moviesetposter or something isn't whitelisted?
I've always had artwork types in my advancedsettings.xml. They are already bypassed and migrated into Kodi whitelist entries and downloading fine. But moviesetposter or whatever it should be named isn't one of them. Whatever this is supposed to be named, I will manually enter into the Kodi whitelist understanding also adding it to the .xml will probably not transfer to the Kodi whitelist.
Am I correct that I need to whitelist moviesetposter because I use the Custom artwork level and need to provide all the artwork types? If so, what is the actual name for moviesetposter if that is not correct?
If I just add <arttype>moviesetposter</arttype> to my advancedsetting.xml will it auto add to the Kodi whitelist still or is that function depreciated as well?
Do I understand correctly movie sets I see in Kodi should be automatically created in the MSIF even though I don't have specific movie sets manually created in Windows Explorer? All my movies are spread out across HDD's and not nestled specifically or anything. Kodi does recognize sets and creates them though.
Is any of this related to why my MSIF is empty after exporting or could it be something else I'm overlooking?
Ultimately, I want to get my hands on the moviesetposter.jpg... copy and paste it in the title folder it relates to... assign that poster manually and be done with the MSIF until I add another set of something in the future. I just like all my artwork in the title folders they correspond with.

It looks ok.
I don't know the coding details of the as.xml artwork method. But my understanding is that it is a one time loading. If you adjust the as.xml artwork tags, I don't think it adjusts in Kodi as it has been previously loaded.
Check in the Kodi settings page. Movie Sets use the same setting as Movies. So there is probably nothing to adjust.

Yes, I pointed Kodi to the MSIF. Edited that into my last post as part of the procedure.
