And for more complex file, if you need to restore the file in the same
integrity than you store it, you need to encode it in base64.
Especially if you want to store app in the custom property.

It's the same principle than storing a file in a blob (if needed, have
a look to the Experiment 004 : Store a file in a database blob and
restore the file on the disk in my website)
