Wish List: using "macro" in folders definition

Here I am with a new request.

I need to create a new folder specific for each user. FileVista requires to create a folder for each user.

It would be a good idea to allow Administrator to create e single "templated" folder allowing him to use a sort of "macro" expressions in folder name and location fields.

An example.

Folder name: Upload for $(UserName)
Location: $(MyServer1)\$(UserName)

$(UserName) should be an internal macro associated with the name of the user who logged to filevista.

$(MyServer1) should be a macro read from a global repository (key/value entries). This simple solution allows administrators to user "virtual names" in folder definition: that's an easy way to change the folder location in one operation when needed.

Once again I hope you'll grant my request in a upcoming release.

Many thanks.
