    This goes into your plugin.

    add_filter('upload_dir', 'awesome_wallpaper_dir');

function awesome_wallpaper_dir( $param ){
    $mydir = '/awesome';

    $param['path'] = $param['path'] . $mydir;
    $param['url'] = $param['url'] . $mydir;

    return $param;
}

    If your plugin is written as a class, you’ll want to hook to it like this:

    add_filter( 'upload_dir', array( $this, 'awesome_wallpaper_dir' ) );

    Using this, in conjunction with the wp_handle_upload_prefilter, you can dynamically determine which directory to upload to, based on the files you upload.
