1) I have some trouble getting imce working with tinymce. Closure tags have been added into theme. I can see the images in a pop up window, but clicking the 'add' button, the pop up does not go away and the required image does not get added into the post.
2) I also tried the inline module, but typing [inline:] simply adds a link to the image rather than displaying the image itself.
3) Next, I tried the node_image module. This simply makes an extra tab that displays all the images at the end of the post. I have no option to display the images inside the post at various locations.
4) Then, I used image with img_assist. This works great, but creates a new node for every image that I upload. I also have to clean a temp folder at regular intervals and the screen that pops up for adding new images is long and confusing to my users. Something simple like imce would be better.
5) Lastly, I don't mind having to type
img src=files/images/file-name
everytime I want to add an image, but at least I would like an easier way to upload the images to the server. Upload module simply uploads all the files into a single directory. I want all users to upload images to a files/images and other material to files. Is this possible?

you want to investigate the image.module
Yup, that's installed.
Yup, that's installed. That's how I got img_assist working. Image is needed for that.
Check the Image Import module
It comes with Image.

I want all users to upload
Isn't this what image.module does? Add an images folder within the files folder? The other files get uploaded to the root of files folder and if you enable user pictures, a directory called 'pictures' is created, also within files (files/pictures).
Since you don't mind typing in the image path, this handbook page might help, although there are some tradeoffs:

image module makes nodes
Well, uploading through the image module places the files in the files/images folder, but it creates a node for each image. Plus, I have to clean the temp folder, although cron can be set up to do that at regular intervals.
What I want is for the user to be able to use upload module, but for that module to know when it enounters a image extension and put those files in files/images. Other uploads, such as .pdf documents and zip files should be kept just in files. IMCE would have been the answer, except that it does not work.
Got it now. Can you tell
Got it now.
Can you tell exactly what is the issue you are having with IMCE? Someone might be able to help you figure that out.

IMCE Issues
So, I click the link at the bottom of the Text area (I have tinyMCE enabled) that says Insert Image/ Link. I get a new window that pops up. I upload the file I want, it appears in the list. All of these work.
Next, I click add next to the image name. Nothing happens. I tried this on the official imce demo site with the BuEditor instead. Upon clicking add, the pop up window disappears and the image is neatly inserted into the post. This is the step that fails for me.
I have added the closure tags. Can't think of what else could be wrong.
upload path modules somewhat of an answer
I found a module called upload path (http://drupal.org/project/uploadpath) that automatically allows each file belonging to a certain node to be placed under a folder with that node title or id. It uses the token module to do this.
This is good but the directory with the node title is only created after the node is created. So, while the image has been uploaded into the post, its directory path still reads files/image_name.jpg Only after the node is created is the path corrected to files/node_title/image_name.jpg
This means users can get confused when writing the post as they will see the current path at that time and write img src="files/image_name.jpg" rather than img src = "files/node_title/image_name.jpg"
