Hi, I am currently creating a large 500+ products directory with FC2. I use an image field for a teaser image in category view and I am using download fields to create my own download management "component".

Therefore I have many images and pdf files to organise and with growing number it gets really time consuming to pick a file or an image to attach it to an item. it would be extremely helpful ff FC would allow to organise the images and files in folders on the server.

Also, if I want to update a file I have to either ftp the file to the server (which is against idea of easy maintenance of the page) or I have to first delete a file and than upload the new one, which is also not a perfect solution. Do you know what I mean?

The file manager is not supporting sub-folders but only 2 folders secure and media.

We have 2 solutions:
-- either modify file manager by adding an extra file field called "sub-folder"
-- or since we already have the "directory" file field to make media and secure folders able to have sub-folders, and at the same time allow the creation of sub-folders.

But this will require planing and coding and probably updating of the plugins.

Hopefully it can be done without breaking compatibility !!!

I have opened an issue for this:
code.google.com/p/flexicontent/i ... ail?id=308

It is not possible to implement this now though, i would need a full day to do it PLUS test and debug it, and update 2 FLEXIcontent versions.

Regards
