   I'd like to have some subfolders under my wp-upload folder, so I can categorize my post images a bit. Is there a way to select what folder to update an image to?

   Admin/Settings/Miscellaneous

   Check "Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders"

   And, no, you can't choose. The appropriate folder is selected (or created) automatically.

   Ok, I am confused:

   Another poster here said :
   go to settings --> Miscellaneous

   First, change the path wp-content/uploads to anything where you want to upload your files. Like:
   wp-content/uploads/trains/explorer
   and uncheck this option:
   Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders
   So, your images will be directly uploaded to
   wp-content/uploads/trains/explorer folder. Change this path when you want to change the folder..

   Now I see that this is still using uploads/ something
   but maybe this will work for what you need.

   I am going to test this out tomorrow
   as I want a different photos set up the the month year bit that WPgives us.

   maybe that helps?

   The original poster wanted different sub-folders under the main upload folders. Sure you can specify a different uploads folder but you can't upload image A to sub-folder 'foo' and decide 5 minutes later to upload image 2 to the bar sub-folder.

   Thanks all. Sure does seem like it would be something WP should implement.
