For multiuser servers this will help make sure there are no naming collisions. Even if an admin accidentally changes the organization settings. So I like the change for this reason. For single user systems, this might break pre-existing naming conventions for people that prefer Manyfold to not touch the filesystem at all. I don't know how many people are in this camp though. Manyfold already makes some changes to the filesystem though, so I don't know how much of a worry this will be. I'm hoping others can weigh in here. |

Yeah, I'm hoping that talking through this a bit will help lead me to some solution that works for both cases. In fact, your comment has made me wonder if "don't change the folders ever" is a good setting to have that might make all this clearer. |

In fact... yes... we have an issue for auto-organise, perhaps that just becomes a setting for "reorganise folders" with the options "auto", "manual" (current behaviour, perhaps plus fully editable path?), and "never". It would still need to auto organise uploads, though if path editing was available then maybe that would be ok. |
This is safer, and has a less confusing UI. Only thing is, will people mind?
This will mean that all model folders will be given an ID like
#2435at the end of their folder name when reorganized. This is recommended at the moment, but this change makes it non-configurable.Definitely want feedback from people who are highly opinionated about their folder structures before I merge this. Let me know what you think.
