I changed the default directories on all systems:

- mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Pharo/images
- win: %APPDATA%\Pharo\images
- unix: ~/.local/share/Pharo/images

And everyone can change these values to what they want like a dropbox
folder (just go to the launcher settings, change the path, and save).

agree. I think I will try another solution

iii) when launching an image, if multiple ones are present, let the
user select with a drop-down. These ways, the concept of a "launcher's
image" can still be seen as a project whereas the .image files can be
seen as versions of this project.

I don't understand that

I don't understand that as well
