Is it possible to add this feature to the application:
different upload folder?
As you may rememmber, previously I had a "problem" with banknote database(more than 200.000 records and 400.000 pictures).

storing them in 1 files/upload folder together posed 2 problems:

  1. if files uploaded had same name them the application would overwrite previously uploaded file.

    It was suggested to have a timestamp checked for that(I somehow agreed to that only to realize that I would have to create another system of tracking the timestamped images.which was not a good option.
  2. I would have to do a multiple update throguh FTP and would have to KNOW the names of the timestamped images,tedious job.
    I was thinking for example to add an option to the upload function like "Browse, or Create a new folder"

    in this case it would be easier to maintaing this large picture database.
    what do you think?
