You can probably post some code so that people can see?

Sure!

Code:

...
// saving the image:
$config['file_name'] = $this->model->getID(); // 6
$config['upload_path'] = './uploads/';
$config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png';

$this->load->library('upload', $config);

$this->upload->do_upload("imagen");
...

The image is uploaded succesfully, but in the upload folder, the file name is other than the setted in $config['file_name'].

Nice. Searching helps a lot

I am doing it this way:
First i create a folder at the same level as the system folder, example: uploads
Then i initialize the library (in the controller) like in the user guide:
$config['upload_path'] = './uploads/';
$config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png';
$config['max_size'] = '100';
$config['max_width'] = '1024';
$config['max_height'] = '768';
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
if($this->upload->do_upload('name_of_the_input_file_in_the_form'))
{
$picture = $this->upload->data();
rename('./uploads/'.$picture['file_name'], './uploads/new_name.'.$picture['file_ext']);
}
I hope this helps anyone, of course you can do more checking, but that's the beauty of the CI, it gives you pretty good basic start, so you can learn more php along the way
