In my personal opinion no base64 encoded images should be stored in a database. For many reasons. First, it will fill up the database quickly and will slow down the app a lot because on Harmattan we use Sqlite3 which isn't really a database, but a huge managed file. Writing data huge like that and reading it really takes up resources. Base64 encoded images should be saved locally somewhere in cache. It would explain why I get not responding state often from nightly builds... This is my opinion, I hope Coderus and TGalal see it the same way... @rAsMi: You make me laugh. Out loud. Your posts are educated guesses or fanboism? Nevermind, source code never lies.
