Ability to set default file destination folder when using "Add file"

Thanks for your speedy reply but I am still lost. I have never found a "File directory" setting for media so where is it? I would have thought there would be a link called "media" under admin/config/media but there is no "media" link under the "media" category to set anything.

Could you give me the path where this setting is?

Thanks, that's how I saw it and I am fully aware of using the fields and File directory settings in them.

What I was asking about is that at admin/content/media which is the media tab under content. There is a "+Add file" link that seems to have no way to set the path if you use it. Is that correct or is there some additional module I can use to make it more flexible?

If that is correct then I think I'll just not use it since I like to have some control over my file structure.

I'm also guessing that if that's never been addressed then its something perhaps in the future will be removed?

Thanks, I'm just trying to get a handle on the purpose/use of this one link in the media module.

Thanks!

I read through what they are doing with file types. When it comes to your redesign something to think about is that it would be nice if the media module would support organizing by "asset type" like a lot of website software does.

I.e.: automatically facilitating a hierarchy like:

--my-assets
----images
----video

or from what I read:

--my-assets
----jpg
----png
----youtube-video

might be more how it turns out. Any, just my two cents worth.
