 * I’m using another plugin (Media Library Assistant) to assign a category to my
   attachments. I tried using the category tag in the settings of this plugin, but
   it doesn’t work. Any file I upload gets put into the root directory. Is this 
   possible? Or does the plugin only work for files uploaded in a post? Thanks.
