On the project page you mention to also have a look at FileField Paths, which seems to do the same thing as this module, but specifically for FileField. Upload module has a complementary module called Upload path. What's this module do differently from either of the existing solutions? Considering most users are (or should) only use one module or the other, it seems like the two existing projects should be sufficient.

I just took a look at #415702: Druplicate Module, which helps a little bit. The project page should be updated to state how it works differently from the existing modules, and when you'd want to use this module instead of FileField Paths or Upload Path.

I would like to point out (even though it is reflected on the project page) that FileField Paths also handles the core Upload module.

I would have been more than happy to accommodate any required changes via feature requests/patches; it appears to me that the only major function lacking in FFP is the cleanup task, which the module is supposed to do as required but admittedly doesn't always do.

Cheers,

Just want to make one last comment,

FileField Paths does cleanup after itself; while there was at one stage an issue with directories not being removed, it was due to files still existing in those directories and I believe those files where there due to FileField not deleting removed files (?).
