Hey Stefan, perfect timing. It's on my ToDo list for the next version.

There's two possible solutions:
 1. store the images itself in the database (like you suggest)
 2. copy the images to a dedicated directory and store that path in the database

Point 1 will be the easiest solution. Everything sits nicely in the database, backups and moving the database will be seamless. But last time I checked it wasn't really advised to store images in the database itself. And what about other posible media files ("Media" tab at the bottom)?

Point 2 is currently my choice, but has some drawbacks. The program will have to manage these files (addition, deletion, duplicates), link it to the database, include in backups, ...

I'm not a database expert, so any input from others is welcome.
