 * Hi,
 * This plugin is working really well and allowed me to re-arrange a bunch of media
   files in different child folders.
 * However, whenever I want to upload a new media file, it goes into /wp-content/
   uploads/ root folder. Is there any way to select one of the created child folders
   at upload or can I only to do it afterwards ?
 * Thanks,
    Fred

 * Unfortunately the uploader of WordPress cannot upload files into other than root
   folder or yearly/monthly folder.
