Module of the Week
with Martin Anderson-Clutz - mandclu.com mandclu
File (Field) Paths - The File (Field) Paths module extends the default functionality of Drupal's core File module, Image module and many other File upload modules, by adding the ability to use entity based tokens in destination paths and file names.
