When a new image is added in the Media section, it is created inside a unique folder (i.e. /Media/455003/new_image.jpg). Does anyone know how to change this behavior, or specify a default folder instead of the randomly selected folder name? Since umbraco doesn't allow us to edit this path, we are stuck with the default folder - which isn't ideal for organizing our media items.
in the umbracoSettings.config file in the "config" folder you could try and change this setting into "false" instead of true: <UploadAllowDirectories>True</UploadAllowDirectories>
Then alle media will be saved directly in the "media" folder like /media/xxx-name-of-file.extension

Hi Mike

There are some different options to solve it programatically have a look at Dirk's answers in this thread http://our.umbraco.org/forum/using/ui-questions/5096-Media-folder-name

Thanks Jan!
The config setting was what I needed for an interim solution - until I have the time to have a permanent solution with development.
