Thumbnail relocation setting?

Since you guys make a Fire TV specific version is it not possible to crate a setting for choosing thumbnail location. Seems like Amazon is never going to make a Fire TV with sufficient disc space, and the workarounds are pretty complicated for a regular person to feel comfortable doing.

Could be done, the big issue is depending on sdcard/usb drive always being present and deciding what to do if the option is set and the save location is not there, or comes back later. As always in sw programming, adding something is not hard, what's hard is dealing with all the 'oh snap' cases.
Side note: MrMC does pay attention to the existing method to vector to external storage. However, instead of 'xbmc_env.properties', it uses 'mrmc_env.properties' and does not fall back to 'xbmc_env.properties' as SPMC does as we feel that would cause mass confusion for users that might have both (or all three) installed.

Oh, I see. Thanks for the quick response. I know that now that is it's on your mind you will work day and night to make it happen.

Mmm... Not sure why you say that...
Don't forget a ".spmc", ".kodi", or ".mrmc" will be created under the directory specified in xbmc_env.properties.
I suspect cases where a user wants a different physical location for one of the 3 quite edgy...
