Is there a way to change where images are stored for products, categories, shipping images, etc?

Is everything stored in the same folder or is there a way to create subfolders so for example category images can be stored in one folder and product images in another?

thanks!

I found where to change the global location: Configuration > Files

Is everything stored in the same folder or is there a way to create subfolders so for example category images can be stored in one folder and product images in another?

From what I learned:
1. I would need to create separate subfolders in the default Hikashop uploads folder in Joomla > Content > Media
2. Upload the images from there and then when adding images select the appropriate subfolder, rather the upload button.

But, I am not sure how that would affect the "thumbnail" files that are dynamically created.

Hi,

Indeed.
The thumbnails are generated under the thumbnails folder inside the upload folder.
So if you change the upload folder, the thumbnails folder changes too along with it.
