hi,

has anybody sucessfully used this module with images? I use the module patched for drupal-6

First I thought this were an issue with the upload_image module, http://drupal.org/node/236251#comment-836065, but it's in fact some conflict between uploadpath and image module.

Point is: no matter what path I define, when I upload an image into /files/custom/defined/targetpath, at some point when I view the uploaded images the build_derivative() function kicks in and moves all files back to the defined image path /files/images

bug posted in images #256210: _image_build_derivatives should leave files in their original location

Have you managed to solve this? I've just run across the same problem.

unfortunately no solution yet. My own attempts to fix this (changing the image.module) failed and my plea for help are all unanswered so far :(

I have disabled the uploadpath for now.

i've also disabled uploadpath for now, i thought i was going crazy there for a while, trying to figure out what was happening to the paths.

I have the same problem - the defined path is ignored for image nodes, while it works with other node type file uploads. Have their been any developments with here?

I am using Drupal v 5.10

This issue is due to the image module handling of image paths and will need to be resolved at the image.module end.

Sure, I crossposted that to the image module issue list long ago http://drupal.org/node/256210
but nobody over there seems to care and my own attempt to work on that failed.

People who are affected by this issue, please go over there and comment on the image module bug.

All Image module support requests that are related to this issue appear to be directed to this thread:
Allow admin to determine how images are named
(which is quite frankly beyond me)
Comment #95 in this thread raises the possibility of cooperation between the Image module and Upload path module. But no response as yet.

BTW, Upload path is a great module - which (aside from image module issues) has really helped me build a manageable file structure for uploads associated with all other node types.

Thank you to all involved.
