Which directory should be used for storing iPro catalog image files on R12.2?

Hi experts,

There are several notes about iPro catalog image which is stored the OA_MEDIA directly.

Vision Demo - How to Load Images to Agreements in the iProcurement Catalog (Doc ID 2273141.1)

What Are Possible Causes For Item Images Missing From iProcurement Search Results? (Doc ID 983568.1)

On the other hands, in R12.2, for hot patching there are run/patch 2 directories.

In this case, which is the preferred solution to store the image file?

1)copy the image files to specific directly(fs1) and set the "POR: Hosted Images Directory" to this directory as full path

2)copy the image files to custom media directory which is located under the $APPL_TOP_NE that is suggested by the following note and section.
