An action would have to take the upload of the file, and copy it just so it's
"${menbername}.jpg", and then put it in the right directoy. An action knows
how to do this, why wouldn't the application then know how to find it?...
If the image is able to be changed by the client, the Action would have to
know where it is to find it and replace it.
Actions have to know where the image is.
