Example: levels are located in C:\games\levels, tilesets in C:\games\tilesets, et cetera. There's also be a need of a tool that moves the files to their new destinations, which, if I am not mistaken, is possible with a DOS command.
This was one of my older suggestions to BlurredD. Personally I'd go for the kind of layout that Unreal engine uses. Then there is an INI file where you set the paths to point to appropriate directories. This way you could set all paths to point to a single directory and get the current jj2 setup (all files in one directory). Users can later modify these paths to point to different folders.
