friscoIs there a way to change the folder organization for the files folder in MS, either with or without changing core WP? Something in install.php would be nice.
I'm familiar with the technique of putting a custom install.php in wp-content to control new blog creation. I also see that in MS there is no way to change the folder organization of the files folder to remove the /year/month structure. I also see that one can edit a site and change the Uploads Use Yearmonth Folders setting, but that just puts everything in 1 big folder (which to me would be an improvement over the date structure).
If I make such a change, am I correct to think that will not affect sites already created, and I'd have to edit those manually if I wanted to change them? (...which might be a lot of work if they have a lot of media...)
The options of either a) dumping everything into 1 folder or b) using a /year/month folder seem fairly lame (and that is about the most polite word that came to mind quickly), especially since content can be so much more than what ends up in the DB. With WP 3.3, it's as if a user gets a brand new shiny car but with tires from the 1980's. Am I missing something that makes this structure so nice that I am foolish to want to dump it?
