Is there a way to sort images in folders so when they are uploaded, they go into a folder that corresponds to the album that it is in? As it is now, when someone uploads an image it goes into the userpics folder. Hope that makes sense.
i do not think this is possible with coppermine.
this discussion has been lead a thousand times: there's no point in pics being sorted into certain folders on the webserver - the database keeps track of the pic's url, the human doesn't have to.

What you are saying is to keep track of the same information in two different places. That is a huge design no-no. The entire point of a database is to remove redundancy. I could see writing a script that would copy pictures into corrosponding OS directories, but what would be the point? You mention backups? Just backup a database dump and the directory. I just don't see the problem.

I apologize, and understand the redundancy issue, and come to think of it, thought of that after I made the post. I was just a little upset over the way my question was responded to. I have deleted the post as it is no longer necessary.
