As per my comment at http://drupal.org/node/1450816#comment-7057592 I've created a version of the module that follows fields rather than folders.
Patch attached.

I envisage it could then be configured to accomodate different widget types.

Let me know what you think?

Could you explain the reasoning for creating this and the benefits of it?

In my particular case i have a mixture of files on s3 and in public.

Seems to me a more flexible approach is to allow files to be queued on a field by field basis so as to be sure that only the specific files you need moved are indeed queued. The individual derivatives required to warrant moving the files can also be defined on a field by field basis using the field settings.

Finally I imagine the module can then be easily extended to support further field widgets using field api.

Am happy to fork this to separate sandbox if it seems like this moves away from the original module requirements.
