I have paths setup in cck fields where i use tokens, and when i try to store the media mover created file(converted video and thumbnails) i would expect them to find out the path where i need these files to be, and to move them there and save them to the cck field.

do i need to something different?

currently form my thumbnails i am harvesting from my video content type, cck field video - works great
process - making the thumbnail - works great but places the thumbnail in /sites/default/files not in the path defined in the cck field
storage - cck field video content type cck field finished_thumbnail - works fine.

is there any way of having the storage information parsed first so the end path for $output_file is known before the process stage is run and maybe the the thumbnail will be placed / saved into the predefined path (tokenized) of the content type.

Its an issue because i forsee more than the 32000 file limit most *nix's impose. so i really need the processed files to be placed where i define them in the cck field.

Thanks so much drupal ninjas.

:-D

I figured it out.,

After installing filefield_paths, and changing the cck field from image to file it plays nicely with the tokenized folder. :-D

Yeehaw!
