Two media galleries one works fine and the other untidly worries me. I have just installed a new component as a fresh Joomla5.2.1 install 2weeks ago, i wanted to install two popular joomla5 media galleries to simplify my upload process one for pictures and one for video, i have learned to notice out of the two media galleries is messy. One operates fine Phocagallery for pictures it seems to upload all my pictures and my galleries fine into one easy to find single folders and the other worries me.
I'm using the two most popular Joomla5 galleries on Joomla5, Phocagallery and a paid videogallery, the paid video gallery is my main worry and is the most popular gallery on Joomala5 but feels buggy
The one that worries me, everytime i add a video (i'm going to upload tens of thousands) it adds a nest of folders for each single video upload, it'll add a media/com_censored/videos/46/orig/0cab424a1d030fde58f43f4784e61af47e2a0a5cf1faaccbea3b73eaadb3271b.mp4
Two seperate directory folders for that single video upload with a giant .mp4 filename.
Now it'll add an additional four directory folders for the thumbnail of that video

I'm a very tidy person and notice around my 20th video upload it was doing this, i checked myphpadmin only to find out that was tidy in one area which annoyed me if the phpmyadmin is tidy why are folder structures such a messy nest of folders, i don't like it. Should i stop using this component. It feels like by my 10th thousand video my metadata will be overwhelming my shared server enviroment. I want everything tidy yet this seems messy.
If i want to browse my video files folder on my server at the moment i'm on upload 49 i'm presented by a labyrinth of metadata folders, should i quit this video gallery component and find something else before it's too late?
