Hello. Please see the notes about $UploadPrefixFmt at the pages:
  http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/UploadsAdmin
  http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/UploadVariables#UploadPrefixFmt

In the default pmwiki installation, when you attach a file, it is attached to 
the "WikiGroup" so for example all pages in Main.* can display it with 
Attach:file.jpg . You seem to want this to work from all pages and all groups, 
in that case, you can set "Single upload directory for site-wide uploads". 
This is configured with such a line in config.php:
   $UploadPrefixFmt = '';

Note that after this, all your current files will not be visible, until you 
mive them like this:
  from : pmwiki/uploads/Main/error47.jpg
  to:    pmwiki/uploads/error47.jpg

and so on for all your files. (After the change, the line 
Attach:main.FAQS/error47.jpg will still work, but the part "main.FAQS/" will 
not be required.

Thanks,
Petko
