    Hello Jacob,

    at first, thanks much for the quick addition of new features of the lightbox as we talked about them (Download Button, Social Share Buttons options etc.) Still looking forward to Zoom+/- button.
    ——

    I have one query about a structure of folders and files.
    I am a bit confused about it.
    Wordpress defaultly uploads photos to the folders according to Years/Months, right?
    For example:
    wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Manhattan.jpg
    wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Eiffel_Tower.jpg
    etc.

    I would like to make an order of my folders and create some structure.
    For example:
    wp-content/uploads/New_York/Manhattan.jpg
    wp-content/uploads/Paris/Eiffel_Tower.jpg
    etc.

    When I upload photos via your plugin, it has changed the filenames and puts everything into the wppa folder:
    wp-content/uploads/wppa/1.jpg
    wp-content/uploads/wppa/2.jpg

    When download button is used, then the photos are downloaded from another folder /temp/ with correct original filename:
    wppa/temp/Manhattan.jpg
    It’s probably a temporary folder, because physically I see nothing there through FTP.
    But when visitor uses ‘right click/save as’ on the photo opened in the lightbox, then is downloaded again as:
    wp-content/uploads/wppa/1.jpg

    I have tried to create my own folders through FTP and send the photos there. It works but it’s pretty uncomfortable and complicated.

    Maybe I am doing something wrong or do you have some advice how to make an order and create my own structure, please?

    Thanks.

    Now I see the again a lot of numbered files in /wp-content/uploads/wppa
    I see /wp-content/uploads/wppa-source with six folders album-1 to album-6 with the different files with the orginial names
    And I still see /wp-content/albums and /wp-content/wppa-pl, both empty except a .htaccess file

    That is correct.

    Shouldn’t there be folders inside /wp-content/albums with the real names of the albums and within the original files?

    No, to prevent possible serious problems during changing parents and/or album names this is not possible. And it is not needed. If you enter the text w#pl in the photo description, you will get a human understandable link to the original file. The .htaccess file does the ‘redirection’ to the right .jpg file.

    Compare it with the link to this page: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/structure-of-uploaded-photos/page/2?replies=31. There is also not a support/topic/structure-of-uploaded-photos/page/2.html file in the www.ads-software.com directory.

    Alright, understood!

    I think that I am happy now ??

    Thank you a lot! Great job!
