I looked at the code to see how this is currently being handled, and Rice is hard-coded to use our User Data path for the root of the directory where it loads and stores the textures. It could be changed easily enough to add an option to configure this directory.
You can actually sort-of hack it yourself to select this directory with the existing code, due to our support of the "XDG" protocol. The first place that we look is based on an environment variable named "XDG_DATA_HOME". So if you set this to something like "/Users/MyUser" before you launch mupen64plus, then Rice will search for hires textures in "/Users/MyUser/mupen64plus/hires_texture/RomGameName" and it will dump them in "/Users/MyUser/mupen64plus/texture_dump/RomGameName".

You can set Finder to show hidden files, but you still can't open them from within GIMP (the internal Open/Save dialogue doesn't show hidden files). There's no obvious way to export a PNG to a hidden directory either. Because GIMP uses it own file format, it kind of forgets where the original lives too.
I tried setting |SharedDataPath| in |[Core]| to a directory that contained a copy of |hires_textures|, thinking that would work, but it didn't. I'm new to the project, but suggest adding config options under |[Video-Rice]| where we can set the paths for dumps and loads.
By the way, thanks for everyone's work on this project. It's a badass emulator.
