I have tried this to no avail when I set ash to move the files they remain in addons folder they are not deleted. I also set AS to use external folder but it will only use images from addons folder not the external folder
is there a specific filename for the external folder ? I thought I would add I am using artist slideshow images from another machine.

First, you might want to read through the wiki pages for both AS and AS Helper. I've done a fair amount of work to document everything and explain it as best I could.

Note that neither has been updated for 2.0.1, so there isn't any mention of the illegal file name correction options. But those probably aren't your issue.

After that if you're still having issues I'd be happy to troubleshoot with you some. I would need screenshots of all the settings tabs of both applications and debug log files for both as well. When you enable debug logging, you need to do it both in Kodi and in the addons (in the advanced tab of the settings). So you'll have three places to go to enable debug logging.

thankyou for the speedy reply I probably wasn't too clear what I have is over 6 gigs of hashed folder images I was hoping to use as an external source but upon reading the wiki (if I am correct)
slideshow wont read these as an ext source must be in artist/fanart folders not hash folders.
