it would be really nice if you could provide filefield_paths functionality to profile-pictures. at this time, profile-pictures takes the value for filepath from original user-profile-pic-settings, wich is fine. but a more sophisticated filepath and filename functionality as seen as at module filefield_paths, where you can use tokens to define a path and filename per field would be the ultimate ;-)
example filename:
[user-id]-[picturefieldname]-[number].jpg
filefield_paths: http://drupal.org/project/filefield_paths
as long as there is no unified general interface for "all pictures concerns", where you can define filepaths, filenames and other properties, endusers must invent "workarounds" for specific problems. the described feature request is required to fulfill a need of a special affiliate website, where i use profile (and related modules) to realise an "affiliate profile" where custom php-code through module rules generates affiliate-id-number (and other stuff) and where also 4 graphics-fields are needed (commercial-ads-graphics of a specific affiliate). so all affiliate-data is bound to the drupal user profile.
before you ask: content-profile and node-profil were tested and could not resolve the upcoming problems. so i went back to core profile module.
i read that in drupal 7, core profile fields will also be cck fields automatically (as cck will be in core), but i have to construct this website now and cannot wait until drupal 7 is ready to roll, unfortunately.
maybe you can provide this functionality to your module so that your module will be the standard solution for all people that have to choose drupal 6 and fill in the gaps of the original profile module ;-)

yeputons commentedIs module FileField also useable for profile pictures (we don't need any node tokens)?
Comment #2
yeputons commentedOops. Sorry, I've understood my mistake. I thought that FileField_Paths is extension for FileField module and the second one is the same as the first one is. :)
Patch will be done and commited in several days. May be it will be a new release.
Comment #3
yeputons commentedThis functionality is added in beta1. But I think that integration with Token module will be better, because your module provides also node tokens which are not needed. I've released 1-1-beta1 version and waiting for Drupal's releasing robot.
