say you have files under /home/ubuntu/imagetests/unoptimized/ and you want to output files to /home/ubuntu/imagetests/optimized/

/home/ubuntu/imagetests/unoptimized/Ch1/image1.jpg becomes /home/ubuntu/imagetests/optimized/h1/image1.jpg

/home/ubuntu/imagetests/unoptimized/Ch1/image2.jpg becomes /home/ubuntu/imagetests/optimized/h1/image2.jpg ext. included is a modified helper.c file that fixes the problem helper.zip
