Hi Oliver

i think that it could just be (the simplier way):

'uploadfolder' => 'myfolder/###REC_FIELD_subfolder###';

where 'subfolder' is a string field of that record.
so i can figure some records to store its files in 'subdir1', and others in 'subdir2' ...

(it's not jsut becouse of large number of files, but also to help backups/management of set of files (they are huge videos)

i know: every external/FE code calling TCA to get the 'uploadfolder' has to parse it... but doesn't it work like this in the "foreign_table_where" field config?

am i missing something?
