Hi, yes, I agree with storing the images as files not as blobs in the database.
I would suggest that the files will be named after the encounter number or PID (most probably after encounter number) because using the name will lead to problems with non-latin languages. Care2x had encountered this problem before and it surfaced only after a team member in Bulgaria started uploading pictures of the persons. So I had to hastily rewrite several scripts to use the pid number as filename.
