Personally I keep one folder for each model, unless there are several similar models, then I'll just keep them all in the same folder e.g bottles.
I've followed these instructions, successfully created my now 512x512 image and placed the produced .mat file with my cube. All seems good and dandy until I try to import the mesh into modeleditor in which it goes back to the exact problem I had BEFORE I fixed the texture to 512x512.
Perhaps there is something in the materialeditor I should untick? These are the files that I've made and that are present when I attempt to import my .dae into my modeleditor:

The image file that I've created the .mat with is:

Thanks a lot for sticking with this far...

Don't have a 4shared account so I can't download those files. I am just going to advise you the way I do it, which works for me. Put the texture into a folder inside your custom story/mods folder. Let's say the texture is called image.jpg. Open the materialeditor, follow the steps I mentioned before, selecting image.jpg as the diffuse texture. Save the material as image.mat in the same folder as image.jpg. Apply the texture to the dae model again, export the model to the folder where image.jpg, image.mat and image.msh are. Now try using the dae model in the level editor.

YES! I got it to work, following those fail-proof instructions you just gave me. Awesome. Lots of thanks!
Now I've just got to master the art of texturing in Maya. Gonna take a long while fixing more complex constructions.

Did you re-applied the texture?
