    Is it possible to change the upload folder? I don't like the way v2 does that.

    @aariste, I don't think plug-ins exist for that, so you'll have to hack or write your own plugin

    @saseev, pass all the images and files to the same location as before (or leave them untouched rather). Assuming absolute link structure, all will be fine.

    I wasn't thinking of making a plugin or similar, I though that might be somewhere in the code but I haven't been able to find it.

    saseev you can export your database and then edit it with something like Ultraedit and replace your old image folder for the new one.

    In this thread, especially on the 2nd page there are several hacks for changing the directory:

    Great! Thanks moshu, doing what Live_U4 tells about functions-post.php works.
