Clarifying this ticket: Add-Art is currently using files hardcoded into chrome. The eventual goal is to have it
- storing image data in an XML file
- downloading an XML file for new shows
- caching images from said XML into user profile directory
There is work being done on this in the cleverly named ‘downloadAfile’ branch:

Here is some code that might help wrap this up.
The .js file downloads an xml file asychronously and saves off jpeg data locally (and it handles both Mac & PC OS gracefully… I haven’t yet checked it on Linux).
The xml that the code is currently hard coded to is located at http://www.ethanham.com/test/addart.xml. The xml has the jpeg data in Base64.
It’s a bit tedious to put together the xml file manually, so I could put together a little utility for doing it, if that would be useful.
