third reason:
 [artwork]
 name
 author
 description
 photo (external storage)
LOAD RECORD([artwork])  //photo is loaded too   :-(

Another (bad?) reason is that it took me a while to understand the way 4D 
organizes the folders. 

I prefer doing it myself. 
 [artwork]
 name
 author
 description
 photo_ID
The path is made from photo_ID. 

If I plan to move documents one day "somewhere else" (cloud or something), 
things will be easier I suppose.
