Wordpress seems to like storing files by year/month. This is nice, but not good enough for busy websites with loads of content. It'll be much nicer to have the folders reflect the exact same structure as the permalinks for them:

/wp-content/uploads/custom-post-type/category/postname-1.jpg
/wp-content/uploads/books/fiction/the-nun-1.jpg
/wp-content/uploads/books/romance/the-italian-spring.jpg

And so on. Is it possible to do this with some simple customized function in functions.php, or via some plugin?

Thanks for any pointers.
