Easier Adding of Multiple Avatars in Admin Panel

HACK: Easier Adding of Multiple Avatars in Admin Panel
BY: KuraFire [www.kurafire.com]
SUGGESTED BY: Xiphoid [creations.nl]
DESCRIPTION: Makes submitting large amounts of avatars at once a breeze
DIFFICULTY: Easy
INSTALL-TIME: 5 minutes
STEPS: 6


EXTENDED DESCRIPTION:
If you ever added like 20 to 50 avatars (or more!) to your vB at once, you probably wished you could've just told the system to take the filenames as the default Title input, and/or specify a minimum amount of posts beforehand, so that you wouldn't have to go adjust each avatar manually. Well, with this hack you can! It gives you the option (defaulted to yes) to tell the script to take the filename, minus the .ext of course, and use that value (stripped from any non-alphabetical or numerical characters) for the Title field (where it will be ucfirst()'d, by the way) as well as the option to specify a minimum amount of posts needed _beforehand_

KuraFire, need your help.
Could you make a hack (together with this one I really love), that would be a select box, from which I could select a predefined (in DB) place as the source for the images. So when the query inserts them in DB, there is only the name in the url column and a $variable (for to be relative) as the path - in another column. The paths and they're variables would be defined in another table. Do you get the point?

I so totally don't get what you mean to achieve.... sorry... o_o

Picture path is stored in a seperate cell from image name. For example: templates/logo.gif - the php seperates them and if the templates is a path, defined in variable $templates_path, it replaces it, so it becomes relative from every place in the site.
