Moving Thumbnails to SD card

Hi. I’m using the following commands to move the Thumbnails as my library is large and I’m running low on memory. My question is for the path substitution part. I left the folder name of the SD card as New Volume_ and relaized I needed to add quotes around it to get the mv linux command to work. When applying the location in the path susbstitution section do I need the quotes?

sudo systemctl stop mediacenter
mv ~/.kodi/userdata/Thumbnails/  /media/"New Volume_"/Thumbnails/
nano ~/.kodi/userdata/advancedsettings.xml

In the screen that comes up paste the following

<advancedsettings>
 <pathsubstitution>
  <substitute>
    <from>special://profile/Thumbnails/</from>
    <to>/media/New Volume_/Thumbnails/</to>
  </substitute>
 </pathsubstitution>
</advancedsettings>

You do not use the quotes in the advancedsettings.xml substitution. An expanded explanation of how path substitution works can be found here…
