Description
Not sure if this is possible, but it would be cool if this module was able to specify:
- A default root directory setting for each content type.
- A default root directory setting for users - to give each user their own personal file space.
- A default root directory setting for each organic group.
- A root directory setting for each WebFM cck widget.
Each root directory setting could use an existing folder in the WebFM folder tree as it's root. You cannot see or move up the root directory tree.
I guess to do all of this, you would have to implement multiple WebFM directory trees. Each WebFM directory tree would have a name, description, and identifier. You could even setup permissions per role to access each WebFM directory tree.
If you were able to do that, then each content type would need to be able to specify what WebFM Trees to allow users to pick files from.
Wow, that's alot. Just food for thought. Let me know what you think?

Why was this marked a duplicate of an issue _for different module_? Frankly, I would love to be able to define a webfm tree per organic group. It would be killer. I assume the original author crossposted to dbfm to also see if their maintainers would implement the feature.
