So I was messing with things, trying to come up with a way to get ClearArt to be in a location separate from the media (for many reasons, the most obvious being instances where the media is in a read-only location). I successfully modified logo-downloader to give me the option to save the logos to a specified location. Then I set out to tell Aeon MQ3 where this location is, and it looks like it would be a bit of work.
I don't want to modify the skin so much that it becomes difficult to keep up with future changes (my modification of logo-downloader, for example, is only a few lines). I notice that you use ListItem.path to access the directory for each ClearArt. If I modify the skin such that there is a ListItem.ClearArtPath variable -- which will either be a duplication or alias of ListItem.path OR the custom ClearArt path if the user has set one (a la "use alternative icons") -- would you be willing to implement that change into the skin?
Alternatively, if anyone knows of a better approach to this, I'm all ears.
