hi dude

I am very much impressed on fleximage plugin functionality.  
But practically facing many problem,

1. By default it stores in png type, which takes more space. Is there  
any  
way to upload a file in jpg format.  
Note: I know i can convert a file to jpg, by i want to convert at  
the  
time of uploading itself.

2. formatted\_image\_path(@image, :jpg)  
This will work only if the file upload file is in ‘flat format’  
By default i am getting files uploaded at nested folder structure  
but  
while using formatted\_image\_path, its fetching like flat format  
Any idea how to change this.
