Since you’ve set up XTP as an all-in-one library viewer, video player, and device controller it makes sense not to care about how the actual folders user media is stored in looks since we’re not supposed to be looking at the folders, but if you have to interact with the folder for anything else it looks bad. In my case, I’m keeping all of my HMVs together. Some are scripted, many are not, and I know which ones are which but I don’t want text documents in my sea of thumbnails if I’m watching something without my SR1 on… or watching a video not related to what my SR1 is synced to.
That workaround doesn’t seem to happen on my machine. As long as the player doesn’t mind hidden funscript files I suppose I can have my cake and eat it too; something’s going to be different with a different app, after all, the switch will just be annoying. You might still consider it to make switching from MFP easier if you find some free time, but thanks for everything you’ve already done, and thanks to @CodeScripter for the help doc.
And for others on Linux, here’s one little tidbit I found useful in another post since I had issues getting my device to connect:
