You need first to copy app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Model/Product/Image.php to app/code/local/Mage/Catalog/Model/Product/Image.php.
Then take a look to the file you just copied, l.313-319 :
// build new filename (most important params)
$path = array(
Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product_media_config')->getBaseMediaPath(),
'cache',
Mage::app()->getStore()->getId(),
$path[] = $this->getDestinationSubdir()
);
This "$path" array will build your catalog image path. Change it to whatever you like. In your case :
// build new filename (most important params)
$path = array(
Mage::getBaseDir('media'),
'cache/images',
Mage::app()->getStore()->getId(),
$path[] = $this->getDestinationSubdir()
);
Dont forget to modify clear cache path too, l.686 :
public function clearCache()
{
$directory = Mage::getBaseDir('media') . DS.'catalog'.DS.'product'.DS.'cache'.DS;
... to ...
public function clearCache()
{
$directory = Mage::getBaseDir('media') . DS.'cache'.DS.'images'.DS;
Next, go to your media.phtml file. Change :
<?php echo $dexxtz->getImageFeatured($this->helper('catalog/image')->init($_product, 'image')); ?>
...
<?php echo $dexxtz->getImageFeatured($this->helper('catalog/image')->init($this->getProduct(), 'image', $_image->getFile())); ?>
... to ...
<?php echo $dexxtz->getImageFeatured($this->helper('catalog/image')->init($_product, 'thumbnail')); ?>
...
<?php echo $dexxtz->getImageFeatured($this->helper('catalog/image')->init($this->getProduct(), 'thumbnail', $_image->getFile())); ?>
