</div></div>Hi Robert,<br>
<br>
I also like the idea that Eric suggested. If I get him right, all we<br>
themers would need is a way to use the "template" tag to tell<br>
mythfrontend that the imagetype path is the one from the storage group<br>
"banners", "fanart" etc. I guess it could look like this.<br>
<br>
<imagetype name="random-fanart"><br>
<filename>%SG-FANART%</filename><br>
</imagetype><br>
<br>
Should I place this into the wiki as a feature request?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
