You can put images wherever you want, no? The card question/answer is

Pre-packaged decks of course need to have them in a specific spot
since the cards and images must match on location, but I believe you
are free to edit the deck and move the image(s) accordingly.
That's the current behaviour. But I believe Peter is/was considering
changing it for 2.x. I've dug out the thread where it was discussed:

To clarify what I mentioned in that thread, mnemosyne2 can work with nested
folders, but they all need to be inside a specific media directory.
If you create a card, and add media from (a subfolder) of the media directory,
the media file is kept where it is. However, if you add media to a card which
is not located in the media folder, it is copied without renaming to the media
folder into the media directory in a flat folder structure. This is to
safeguard against the original image disappearing or moving.
I even thought specifically about you when I changed the side effects of
deleting a card: deleting a card no longer automatically deletes the
corresponding media files, as you could be using that media file for other
purposes, even though there is no more a card associated with it.
Is this OK for you?

That's absolutely fine for me, thanks! I keep all my images in
subfolders under the .mnemosyne directory; i.e.
/home/dougie/.mnemosyne/images
so it sounds straightforward.
Your comment regarding file deletion is interesting. Sometimes I delete
a card when I'm reviewing (it it's a poor image for example and I
consider it of limited value), in the knowledge that I have 'orphaned'
the image file and will need to tidy up later. It would actually suit me
for the image file to be deleted too, but it's no great hardship. All my
images are currently resized to a lower resolution but I might change
this depending on how I find mnemosyne2's handling of higher-res images.
