X3-Transfering songs from one cpu to another-Combine "Picture Cache" or not?

X3 installed on desktop and laptop. Using thumb drive I want to load song files from desktop to the laptop as I will be working with them away from home. Among the song files being transferred from the desktop is the Picture Cache folder for these songs.
There already is a Picture Cache folder on the laptop.
Is it ok to have two Picture Cache folders? Or should I combine all into only one folder?

    There is no need to copy the picture cache. SONAR only uses one Picture Cache defined in the Preferences > File > Audio Data "Picture Folder" entry.

    In the PicCache (along with the song folders) being transferred, are files belonging to the songs.
    Wouldn't those files in that PC folder still need to be seen in the receiving laptops PC Folder?
    Hence I would combine them into the one PC Folder file on the laptop.When a song is opened it can find the files pertaining to that song?
    Or when the songs are opened on the laptop will it create new files that would go in the existing (laptop) PC folder?

    The wave images in the picture cache will be created when the project is opened on the laptop. It is not unusual to clear the picture cache from time to time.

    Thanks!
