 * I tested uploading a .JPG using %file-type%, it will be uploaded to /images/jpeg/
 * From what I see, the second-level folder (eg. /jpeg/) is not necessary, it only
   adds complexity, if I needed that, I could have use %file-ext%. Is there any 
   way to use only the first-level folder (eg. /images/)?
