You don't need the trouble of moving the IMG file to a higher hierarchy level just to save you from typing long paths. Instead, just leave the file wherever you want and use the autocomplete with the TAB key, it really easy, just type the first letters, hit TAB and it will complete the whole path (or hit it twice for possibilities). That's it. Hope it helps someone that didn't knew it... Cheers!
