Everything works perfectly in posting images in blogs via a Gravity Form "Post" and storing in the default WP media folders.
I see that Gravity Forms creates date based and tmp folders in /wp-content/uploads/gravity_forms... Looking similar to /wp-content/uploads/gravity_forms/2-2781bb962d2439f40d237ed999527b7a/2012/11 and also with copies of images in a tmp folder which renames images like 509dcd67467bd_input_25.jpg
Once a blog post is published the media image url's are formed exactly as they should, i.e. /wp-content/uploads/2012/12/mypic.jpg and fetched/inserted into the post.
The question here is one of storage. Do all the Gravity Form upload folders and image files need to be left intact? For instance, I have a file called mypic.jpg in gf/uploads/.../2012/11 and a copy in the /tmp folder called 50a9a98f125ac_input_25.jpg AND the same file in the media folders, /wp-content/uploads/2012/11/mypic.jpg
Over a period of time that could account for a large amount of storage space. Thanks for any insight and determination that leaving all this "as is" is a necessity within the system.
