I am not sure, I didn't consider image as a 'real type' of item. More 
like attribute of a scan. Maybe because there is no Image submenu:)

I agree that looking for already created images with specific file is 
much better idea, then what I have implemented. Allowing users to 
specify image format, description and preview flag is great, but I would 
prefer to have it in the scan spreadsheet as additional columns (image 
property columns, as with file in rba import). Mainly because image has 
no life on its own and also because there is actually no image list 
where one could run batch import. OK, there is a list of images for 
every scan, but image imports for each and every scan would be laborious.

What do you think of it?
