Image uploading in different directories

  • I’m switching to WP from MT, but I miss the feature of uploading images and having a choice in which subdirectory to save them. Currently all my images, swf’s, extra html-pages, subdirectories and movies are all in weblog/archives/200308 format. I c?3uld change all the links from 250 posts so far to an easier weblog/archives for ??ll files, but I already have more than a thousand files and blogging for some one and a half year. So it would be nice to be able to keep this format.
    Is there a hack or something to get that extra field (just like within MT) to fill in “200406” as the directory for uploading that particular image?

  • Not right now, I miss it too ??

    As a feature request I like point the programmers
    to develop a better imagehandling.
    I could introduce myself to add a hash to the filename and store it in the db, related to the author. Over a popup window you could select the right image. Best if I can see in the popup a thumbnail and the filename, perhaps without the hash.
    Think too easy?

    Sorry. I forgot to say: ^^^^
    don’t store the file in the db!
    Only the filename and the path.

    The quick and dirty workaround for this is just change the destination directory on the Options > Upload page to the directory that you want. Not elegant but workable.

    That’s not a bad suggestion for now Kitten! I only have to change it at the beginning of a new month! Good thinking.
    And I decided to keep my filing structure the way it is now. It looks organised and it would be a waste of time to change the links in all the posts I made previously. And there is so much new to learn here at wordpress ??

    Wow, I know this is a stale question, from a year ago, but figure I’d drop the solution anyway:

    Joe Schmoe has an excellent hack (one change to one admin file) that truly lives up to the name! I just installed it and my life is 2.8% better — not bad.

    Only need to mod menu.php with two lines.
