No need to copy the macro into a different folder to work on different sets of images. If you want to process files in a different folder, use the getDirectory(string) command to get the path to your files. Have a look at the documentation for the built-in macro functions (https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/developer/macro/functions.html#G) for further information and links to examples.
Hope this helps,
Volko

The File.directory() macro function returns the path to the directory that a macro was loaded from.
