Uh, not to seem dense -- oops, too late, I guess! -- but *how*?

Overwrite doesn't apply, since the PSD version of file 'foo.jpg'
should be named 'foo.psd', but it's the "original folder" idea that
doesn't see to be working.

The setup is something like

/products/1/foo.jpg
          /2/bar.jpg
          /3/baz.jpg
           .
where there are no images in 'products', only in subdirs 1,2,3, etc.

I can specify 'products' as the 'Source' folder with Include All
Subfolders checked, but if I also specify Destination: Folder and
choose 'products' -- all the new files are created in that base
directory, not /1/, /2/, /3/.

Tell me I'm overlooking something obvious -- please :-)
