Yes, I thought that not always one might have a picture file with a file name that is just the name of an entry. Then it could be useful to have some other means to specify the file name of a picture for a BBDB record. What do other people on this list think about this? If you wanted to add pictures to your BBDB records, which file names would you want to use for this? Would these file names be the same as the names going with each record? Or could this (also) be different so that BBDB should first, say, look for a note field `picture' the value of which is the file name of the picture to use. Only if that's not found, it could use the name of a record to search for a picture. With the latter scheme it would be possible to have multiple records using the same pciture. Then the picture could be, for example, an Emacs logo, for all records of people related with emacs. (BBDB does not yet have a logo!)
