Ah, okay, I didn't realize that. I don't use extrafanart myself, so that makes sense. Any chance you'll add the ability for Artist Slideshow to "look" for artist folder.jpg and fanart.jpg files sitting in the artist folder? I believe that's how most folks organize their music and it would be great to see those images added.

I'll have to look at it. The constraint is that the skin engine will only show images from one directory at a time. So I'd have to have AS copy the image(s) in question into the extrafanart folder (and create it if it's not there). I'm not a big fan of touching files the user has added outside AS, so that idea makes me a little queasy.

I'm not going to pretend I understand the technical details of how Artist Slideshow works, but would it be possible to simply copy the artist folder.jpg and fanart.jpg into the the artist directory you create in the addon_data/script.artistslideshow/ArtistSlideshow? Then Artist Slideshow could display the local art as though they were downloaded. This creates redundant duplicates, but at least it doesn't mess with the users' music directory structure.

You've got the right idea. It's just even copying something means touching it, and that always makes me nervous. I think there would also need to be another setting to tell AS what to copy. I, for instance, would not want the folder.jpg copied (I'm pretty sure that's just the artist bio image), but I would want the fanart.jpg. I'm also trying to figure out how this would work if the user is using the default AS location for images rather than local ones.
