Assets Question

[spark inlet]

Right now I have collection and movies assets in the config/assets folder
/config/assests/Movie (1988)/poter.jpg for movies
and
/config/assets/MovieCollectionName/poster.jg

If I set up:

settings:
  asset_directory: 
    - config/assets/movies
    - config/assets/collections

will that populate collections automatically inthe collections folder.
What I mean is, if I add a new collection, and dont create a folder for it, PMM creates a folder and puts the poster in it (I think)

PMM does not put artwork in the assets directory except in the case of download_url_assets

If you tell it to create folders, it will probably create them in the first asset directory in the list, since PMM has no way of knowing which asset directory you want populated with what

in the list case, @spark inlet IF you have download_url_assets: true and pmm creates a folder; if the folder does not exist in either of those 2 places, then it will create in movies because it's the first in the list. you could then movie it.

Thanks

I run a powershell script before my pmm run that takes care of creating and populating the movie assets

So I will put the collections folder first, that way pmm can populate with new folders are I create net collections. Worst case I can manually intervene, as I have only 213 collections and they only increase slowly

[dusty cedar]

new movies would then create in the collections folder if it's first

[spark inlet]

I would assume that if they are already created on movies folder, that this would not happen, right?

Process I use should prevent that from being an issue

[dusty cedar]

yeah, it will look in both places before creating
