Although in both config.php there is a setting for image folder
define('DIR_IMAGE', '/home/esoftw5/public_html/me3d.us/me3d.us/image/');
so apparently one could:
define('DIR_IMAGE', '/home/esoftw5/public_html/me3d.us/me3d.us/PRIVATEIMAGEFOLDERNAME/');


In fact, it is hard coded in dozens of places that the URL is generated with the string 'image/',
so renaming the image folder for privacy/security is not practical.

Here is an example:
if (isset($this->request->server['HTTPS']) && (($this->request->server['HTTPS'] == 'on') || ($this->request->server['HTTPS'] == '1'))) {
return HTTPS_CATALOG . 'image/' . $new_image;
} else {
return HTTP_CATALOG . 'image/' . $new_image;
}
The code is littered with this construct.

Hey just question. If you have some "private image folder name". What would be it for? If I would go to your website and there would be some images from "private image folder name" then I would easily find out what the name is. Am I missing something?

You are both right. You could rename the image folder and the hardcodes should be changed... however, one could easily view the source of your page and get that image path so there's no real value.
