Node images path setting have a possibility to add variables as %uid, %username, but directories HAVE TO EXIST prior to using this feature.
This makes it useless in large sites with many users - e.g. admin would have to manually create hundreds of directiories with usernames:-(

or maybe I'm missing something?..

I would like to have something like that:
sites/default/files/user_pictures/%username/node_images/

this will help to keep order in all user files, uploaded via other modules

is it possible or not?

That looks like it should work. You would have to create the user_picture directory and make sure it the server can write to the directory. I am doing something similar with the %username path and it does get created when images are uploaded. I am not sure if you have node_images as another sub-directory, but it may not be needed.

My point is I would like node images module to check if some subdirs already exists and create some if not.
E.g. for user 'admin':

If 'sites/default/files/user_pictures/admin' path doesn't exist, create it, as well as the following 'node_images' part

If 'sites/default/files/user_pictures/admin' already exists, only add 'node_images' part at the end

In both cases images should be placed in 'sites/default/files/user_pictures/admin/node_images/' subdir.

Is it possible via SMALL module code modifications?
