That sounds right; in principle this method for assigning images in Game Courier needs all images in one directory, and it doesn't matter which. It doesn't have a special facility like the ID to look for images in other directories.
I am not sure the following trick would work, though. Path names can be absolute (when they start with slash) or relative, and it is possible to specify a path to another directory that is not a sub-directory of the current one by using .. for indicating the parent directory. So if the specified piece directory is /graphics.dir/alfaeriePNG, and you specify an image filename as ../../membergraphics/MSdealers-chess/mypiece.png it could indicate a piece elsewhere. I am not sure whether the browser or server would not block the use of .. for security reasons, though.
(In the ID this trick would not work, because the image names must be specified without the color prefix, which would no longer be prefixes, but have to go somewhere in the middle if you would try to use a path name, so I had to make a special provision there for the use of 'guest piece'.)
