Thanks Andrew, I would like to mention something to you about the D7 image management.

As all the images are dumped in ONE folder, site/modules/boonex/photos/data/files/ isn't this going to create problems once numbers of files become quite large? EG, I can not view more than 10K files in this folder as my host (Arvixe) limits the number of file views via Cpanel or FTP for security on their shared servers. This means I can only view and edit a truncated amount which used to be only 2K until I see more raised this issue with them. I was not aware of this situation until I needed to delete some images and could not do it as I could not even view them and had no idea what was going on.

With D7 making 5 files per image, I reach my view limit at only 2K members with images. Not many is it?

Many other D7 users would be in the same boat as me, on shared hosting. What happened to the individual ID folders as in D6? Is there a reason I am not understanding as to why all images are in one folder? There must be a valid reason for you to take this move.

Isn't there a file limit placed on a folder anyway? I have been told it is 32K, which is only 6K members with images, still not that many is it? Can we have a fast site with 100K or more files in ONE folder? How to edit and view these if we need to, as I can't do anything now, let alone once things grow.

Some food for thought. Your input would be most grateful, thanks.
