this is an official feature in 1.5.0svn (that is, you have an entry in the context menu that makes an image included in the .sla) imo, a "bad feature"*, but nonetheless a feature! ciao a.l.e * trying to avoid the usual shitstorm: getting the image to follow the .sla is a good idea, but including the image in the xml is imo a bad implementation of that idea.
