 Comment: lets fix some more of the above issues and then head for these?
 
+ - How do we want to handle images in future? -
+Currently it is really strange for example if we need to recreate the db from the scratch, you always have to set up the whole stuff.
+What do you think about it, i know how we can handle most of these stuff. It's just a question, whether we agree both to it. ;)
+-> ApplicationItems
+ - Filename: for the image of ApplicationItem is parsed by ApplicationItem Title
+ - Filepath: GetSubfolder(Config.Dir.Thumbs, "MyProgramsAlt")
+ - database: remove 'imagefile' in tblApplicationItem
+ - config: remove the App.Picture label and textbox
+           maybe add a label as a hint, which the contain the filename, the plugin is searching for
+           this sample is created on the fly by Title
+   Example: Nintendo 64 - "C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\Thumbs\MyProgramsAlt\Nintendo 64.png"
 
+-> FileItems
+ - Filename: for the image of FileItem is parsed by FileItem Title, and is only the base filename,
+             this means that we can append out counter _1 _2 or anything else to have more than image per fileitem
+ - Filepath: GetSubfolder(Config.Dir.Thumbs, @"MyProgramsAlt\" + FatherApplicationItemTitle)
+ - database: remove 'imagefile' in tblFileItem
+ - config: remove the image label and textbox in fileDetailsForm
+           maybe add a label as a hint, which the contain two sample filenames, the plugin is searching for
+           these samples are created on the fly by Title
+   Example: Nintendo 64 Mario Kart 64 - "C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\Thumbs\MyProgramsAlt\Nintendo 64\Mario Kart 64_1.png"
+                                        "C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\Thumbs\MyProgramsAlt\Nintendo 64\Mario Kart 64_2.png"
+
+pros: - no need to config paths for imagesDirs, appitems or fileitems
+      - no need to store the paths in database -> which is not working correct atm
+
+cons: - it's a bit coding work ;)
+      - after renaming an item, file must be renamed, too --> can also be don by code
+
+
+ - What should be the name for the plugin, when we will release it? -
+Imo MyProgramsAlt sounds a bit uggly. I think it should not be too long and complicated.
+ - MyProgramsV2
+ - MyProgramsAlt
+ - MyProgramsAlternative
+ - NewMyPrograms
+ - NewPrograms
+ .....
+ could contain: new, alt
+What about using a complete new name?
+ something with Games or Emu?
+
+
+ - What about an BackUp feature? -
+Don't worry should not backup all stuff, just save in any fileformat you want:
+  - filepath and filename: to identify the file
+  - Launchcount
+  - LastTimeLaunched
+
+
 Add some more specific emulator support..
  - using system and emulator ids??? can be used for
       - filter in fileinfoscraperForm
