 * I created a subfolder in my site’s /uploads folder and I want all the images 
   to be uploaded to that subdirectory, but I can’t figure out how to get that to
   work. All the images are still uploaded to the /uploads folder and not to the
   subdirectory.

 * Did you figure out how to do this?
 * The plugin page FAQ section mentions an “uploadpath” attribute but I’m not sure
   how or where to do that?
 * I tried changing the “base directory” in settings, with my desired upload directory
   location, but that didn’t affect it.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi mungbean-
 * I don’t remember, but I doubt I could get it to work the way I wanted, because
   I abandoned using the plugin.

 * not only do u have to specify the upload path in each instance’s general options,
   but u need to turn on “create upload path” if the dir doesn’t already exist
