I am currently using the upload module installed with Drupal. I have tried using a number of the photo upload scripts with varying results.
The current module works great for my goals. The only things I would add:
1. Able to upload to specificied locations (e.g. /files/photos1/)
2. Able to create new (sub-) folders in /files/ on the fly (e.g. /files/photos1/todays_date/)
3. Mass uploads not tied to a node; e.g. I want to upload 10 pictures at once to /files/recentpictures/
And only loosely related...
4. A means to browse the folder quickly to gain the URL path to then insert into nodes (either for download, view as a picture, etc)

You can do this with TinyFCK
See TinyFCK = TinyMCE + FileManager. Which creates Image and File subfolders in /files , but IMO can't actually see the root /files directory :(
You can also set the image.module Default image path: (admin > settings > image) to point to (or create) a subfolder in /files.
Surely it would not be to difficult to add a Default UPLOAD path: to the admin > settings > upload options!?!
and it is definately possible
As this discussion and patch shows: upload into subdir based on uid
I agree this would be a great and much needed feature.
