Port to Drupal 7

YES! Would like to see this ported!

but is there need in such kind of module? there are all on fields
in file fields there are upload paths. so why we need thet now?

may be no need? which modues use uploadpath integration?

I am not sure whether I understand you correctly. But I think the core functions available for file management in D7 are not efficient for maintaining a) a large number of files and b) proper security for private files.

Thus the combination of Upload Path and Private Upload and the patch I have written to use them is far from everything I have seen. Most file management solutions only work with the standard path mechanisms, e.g. one public directory and/or one private directory.

It appears FileField Paths (http://drupal.org/project/filefield_paths) offers similar functionality (although they may have different implementations of Token, not sure as I haven't tested Upload Paths)

FileField Paths has a D7 port live...

edit: I've got FileField Paths enabled, but can't make heads or tails of it...no settings, no nothing! would love to see this ported to D7 with a decent UI

The settings, afaict (as far as I can tell) are in the Structure >Content Type > Manage Fields > File/image/etc Field > File Path Settings.

I'm getting errors and files aren't getting moved personally, but that's where the settings are.

Uploadpath was designed for the upload module which has been replaced by the field system in D7.

At this stage I can't see a use, sadly, for uploadpath in D7 and this module may have a final release at D6.

Filefield Paths is an option however for D7 and is designed to work with filefield instead.
