[ANDY] OK by 'where it is' I mean where it is now in 2. I have no  
problem with the old workflow but I'll accept that many people do so  
leave it where it is on the 'write' pages. No argument.

[ANDY] I can stick (define('CACHE_PATH', ABSPATH.'/wp-content/my-new- 
cache-location');) in my wp-config? Is this right? 'CACHE_PATH'  
defines where images are stored? Can you confirm that please? I can  
cover this with a plug-in I guess. It's just that I suspected this  
was more to do with the cache rather than images....?

So - if I define the location am I still going to get the folder  
hierarchy or can I control that as well?

[ANDY] Tried it again - Confirm I can replicate.

[ANDY] When you click on the 'Upload' button, two files are created  
so there is no choice on whether I want the thumbnail or not. Whether  
this is a bug or by design I don't know.
I'll try and put these on Trac. Last time I tried filing a bug I  
couldn't log into it but I'll have another try.
