[Field file] Change location folder

Hi,

In the file field parameters, we can only choose 'media' or 'secure' folders for location of the fields.
Is it possible to use a custom folder for file field?

In the image field parameters, we can define a different folder for thumbnails, could we have the same for file?

Regards

Hello

do you mean different for every file field ?

now you can define these folders in component configuration

but the above will effect all file fields and the filemanager

Hi,

Yes, i mean different folder for every file fields.

It's awful to find something in my secure folder without sql queries... and i need to have more cleaner folder structure.
Does it need lot of work?

Regards

A lot of work ?
No it is not a lot of work,
Because most of the needed code is already implemented in it

But it is still several hours work

Yes for sure, it's need time.

I looked at the code and tried to find alone, but i can't do it just with the field plugin (may be i'm wrong, but i think i have to change some code in the controller file)

May be i can sponsor the feature, but it's not for a commercial project, so i have very little budget.
May be other users are interested for this feature too...

Regards

Hello

honestly, i would like to see this added too

as said the most heavy work needed for this is already done
