Things may have changed, but last time I tried, LOAD RECORD would grab the 
whole stuff (and I suppose it could be considered as a bug if not). I store 
photographs, for example, in 3 different resolutions, that external storage 
will only reduce my 4dd size, nothing else. With my own external storage I 
don't have this problem.

Yes, perfectly true. But it's exactly the same if I create create my own "home 
made" external storage, and I don't ask 4D to care about it. Makes me think of 
the backup file: I never understood why a 4D backup must be a file instead of a 
folder containing what I need to restart immediately (4dd, 4dindx, etc). No, I 
have to _extract_ the monster first. Sometimes I wonder if they know we are 
adults.
