File path from imagefield not used

Ok, I checked.

You're right, the remote directory gets cleaned up. I had imported a lot of images, that's why it was filled up.

Still not all images do end up in the right directory. Images from one content-type do, from an other one don't.
I also have problems using tokens to have them grouped daily.

Could it be, that the filepath is checked just once and not after that, so that any changes made in the content-type filepath settings are not recognized by remote_file? That would also explain why tokens work once, but not the next day when the value of the token changes.

My setup is this:
Use feed-API to create news-items.
Map the URLs of images (using feed-mapper) to a remote_link field.

Works OK. For some reason not all images are being downloaded. The remote_link is populated but no image is being downloaded, not even after a second save.

(Maybe that's an other issue I should file....)

Hope that helps. If not, contact me and I'll give you access to a test site.

Here it is, hope it helps.

Yes, FeedAPI and FeedAPI-Mapper.

Grab a feed that contains images as an enclosure and map the enclosed image URL to the remote_link.

Well, the Idea I had was to have a way to store the images in different directories.

Imagefield downloads a feww hundred images a week, too many to manage in a single directory after a while.
So I wanted to have them stored by week. Every week a new directory like 2009-41 for the 41st week of 2009.

That way I could backub the images on a weekly basis and remove them from the server since I only want the smaller ImageCached versions anyway.

How would I go about that?
