change store location for images

[MattDownUnder]

Hi,

how can I change the location where the images are stored ?
By default I have to upload the images in the "images" folder. I want to create a subfolder there and upload my images there. I think this way it's more organized.

In the /images directory create your folder for your images that you want.

In the admin > catalog > Categories / Products > and the product entry screen there is a dropdown at the right of the upload image entry, select the dropdown and select the folder that you created. Then upload your image using the browse button.

I must be blind.
All I can see at the right is:

Text Editor:
Categories/Product Display Order:
Search:
Go To:

If I click on one of my products I can see in the bottom right:

Upload to directory:

I uploaded all products using a .cvs

Do I have to change the path in the .cvs ?

Since you are doing this via a DB upload of a .cvs,,,one would think that you know what you are doing. This might populate the DB with the data but the images are not included in the DB. A lot of work for what you call organization, are we talking about 10's, 100's or 1,000's of items?

I have like 60 products and use eazypopulate.
I just like the fact that I can edit the cvs and change everything. If the price goes up $1 for all products it's not much fun clicking on all products and change evry one.
I changed the path in the cvs to the image subfolder and it works fine. I upload the images via ftp, all together.
