<p>When using Inline Transforms in a template and also when the image transform is set in the Image Transforms section of the control panel then say my images folder is located at :</p>

<p><strong>/images</strong></p>

<p>And say I create an Image Transform called Square 100 [square100] <em>(in either way mentioned above)</em>, the folder with the transformed images get saved to :</p>

<p><strong>/images/_square100</strong></p>

<p>Is there any way to prevent this because I'd like to be able to upload images to a certain folder but then have the URL not shown in any way so people can't find the original files. At the moment you can tell that they are in a folder called images and all you'd need to do to access them is to delete the <strong>/_square100</strong> part from the URL.</p>

<p>I tried taking a look at the config variables but couldn't see anything pertaining to this sort of thing or perhaps I'm missing it somewhere?</p>

<p>Many thanks,</p>

Possibility to change where Image Transform folders are stored?
# Possibility to change where Image Transform folders are stored?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-05-13)

When using Inline Transforms in a template and also when the image transform is set in the Image Transforms section of the control panel then say my images folder is located at :

**/images**

And say I create an Image Transform called Square 100 [square100] *(in either way mentioned above)*, the folder with the transformed images get saved to :

**/images/\_square100**

Is there any way to prevent this because I'd like to be able to upload images to a certain folder but then have the URL not shown in any way so people can't find the original files. At the moment you can tell that they are in a folder called images and all you'd need to do to access them is to delete the **/\_square100** part from the URL.

I tried taking a look at the config variables but couldn't see anything pertaining to this sort of thing or perhaps I'm missing it somewhere?

Many thanks,

Mark

Currently the answer is no. Those paths are hard set in the code.

Sounds like something for the [feedback site](http://feedback.buildwithcraft.com/), though. Be sure and share your use case.
