Addon settings
You MUST go into the settings and set some options or the script won't do anything but complain that you haven't set any options.

Create artist hash map file: (default false)

Enabling this option will tell AS Helper to create the hash file.

Output directory: (default EMPTY)

The directory where AS Helper should put the text file. The name of the file will be as_hashlist.txt.

'Migrate images:'' (default false)

Enable this to have AS Helper migrate images from the cache directory to a separate, local directory structure. Please note that artists with "/" in their name will be skipped.

Output directory (default EMPTY)

The root directory where AS Helper should put the images. AS Helper will place images in that directory by /extrafanart. If the artist directory already exists, AS Helper will add images to the directory.

Migration type: (default TEST)

three options: test, copy, move

test will create a text file logging what would have happened if files were actually moved.

copy copy the cache files to the destination and leave the cache files in place.

move copy the cache files to the destination and delete the files in the cache.

Enable debug logging: (default false)

When enabled, if you have XBMC logging set the DEBUG you will get a very verbose set of information in your log file. You should only need to activate this when troubleshooting issues.
