    Can I set up different default image upload folders for channels? So when I publish to a specific channel and select the upload image button I’m automatically directed to the appropriate linked folder.

    Also, besides using an FTP client is there a quick way to upload multiple images to EE?

    You can map upload destinations to specific File type channel fields, which are then assigned to a channel.

    If you are allowing images to be uploaded to a general textarea field then you don’t get the option to limit to specific file upload folders.

    Thanks. I’m uploading typically to general text areas.

    Could this be added as a future feature request?

    Sure.

    Also keep in mind you can restrict upload directories to member groups.

    Hey BP,

    I am glad that Mike was able to help you out!

    Do you plan on filing a Feature Request?

    Cheers,

    Hi Shane,

    I posted in the feature request forum area earlier today. Does that qualify, or do I need to do something else to put the request in?

    Cheers,
    Ben

    Hey BP,

    Nope! That’s all you need to do. The developers check that regularly so thank you!

    Anything else I can help with?

    Cheers,
