Hi Igor,

A 'devious' workaround for this limitation would be
the following:
- store the entire collection of pictures in custom
properties (one per file with 'set the
uPictures[tFileName] of this stack to URL
"binfile:"&tFilePath')
- on openStack you 'unpack' the images, placing them
in a temporary directory
- then you point the fileName property of the image to
the 'unpacked' file in that temporary directory

This way you still have only a single file.

Just a thought ;-)
