Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
I love this module, but it quickly makes a mess out of your default > files directory. It would be great to be able to specify where you wanted files to be stored. If you used CCK and the file field form type you could solve this instead of using the attachment feature. I have a photo heavy site and want to be able upload 35 - 50 photos per gallery, but my files directory swells and I would love a way to separate my photos from the rest of my content.
Thanks.

Mark Theunissen CreditAttribution: Mark Theunissen commentedThanks for the feedback. I agree that using the upload.module is not ideal, however there are reasons I chose it. The alternatives are using the Filefield or the Imagefield modules. However, from the Filefield module page:
It's currently only in Alpha.
Imagefield doesn't have an explicit warning, but it's also only in Alpha.
I don't use Alpha level code in my production sites, which is why I decided to integrate with the upload module.
Anyway, to solve your problem, you could use the Upload path module:
http://drupal.org/project/uploadpath
This should work perfectly! Please let me know how it goes.
Cheers
Mark

BKWill CreditAttribution: BKWill commentedYour advice worked great, thank you! Although I've since run into another issue with Galleria that I posted here: http://drupal.org/node/349353
Again, I love the module and I appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions.
