quick upload destinaion

hey folks

by default, the quick upload in the LINK dialog uploads to: /userfiles/
and yet the file manager defaults to: /userfiles/file/

doesn't it make sense to have the quick upload go to /userfiles/file/ as well, so that when one wants to find a previously uploaded file - it can actually be found (seen as one cannot browse to /userfiles/ as far as i can see)

so how can this destination be changed?

obviously the default image quick upload should be to /userfile/image/ etc...

Thanks!

I'm also wondering the answer to this question. I changed the desination for the uploads tab, but the browse server button goes to the /file/ subdirectory automatically. Please let me know if the answer is discovered.

Ok - I finally found it and it solves my problem. Might help you also if I understand your issue to match mine.

I'm using PHP, so the following path to the file to be changed is:

...filemanager/connectors/php/config.php

Change the following lines (remove the ***file/***, but leave empty quotes):

$Config['FileTypesPath']['File'] = $Config['UserFilesPath'] . 'file/' ;
$Config['FileTypesAbsolutePath']['File']= ($Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] == '') ? '' : $Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'].'file/' ;

Do the same for lines below if same root directory is preferred for images, flash, etc. Otherwise make paths/folder names as desired.

Hope that helps your situation.
