How difficult would it be to alter EE's Photo Gallery directory structure ?

    EE team,
    I’m creating a back-end CMS, using EE, that is utilizing a 3rd-party java application (ThinFile) to upload large batches of photos to the server. One major highlight of ThinFileUpload, besides the obvious one of uploading multiple files at one time and automating any necessary back-end processing, is the ability to replicate the directory structure, which is nested (2 deep). I saw the Gallery module (combined with Solspace’s Extended Gallery 2.0) as useful in order to store this photo upload in EE’s system, breaking it down into categories.

    The one drawback I’ve realized is that EE’s Photo Gallery DOESN’T store the photos for a sub-category in a nested directory under the parent directory. Matter of fact, all sub-category directories end up on the same level as the parent category directories.

    How difficult do you think it would be for me to alter the Gallery Module’s design to store photo sub-categories in nested directories ?

    NEVER MIND ... I didn’t realize that the category directory could have nested directories inserted into the field (i.e. ‘dir1/dir2/dir3’ for subcategory dir3) - thx
