Bill,

Bill I disagree with you on that one. The only reason for not storing the images in the db is because WO does not support it very well. There are a number of way you can improve WO to make it behave and I have done it successfully, if only Apple could listen and fix it for everyone we would not have that discussion every few months. On the other side having the images outside of the database essentially destroy the initial reason for having a database. The drawback of having operational information on two different repositories (db and file system) are not negligible in particular backup, security and synchronization issues.

Any arguments pro/con storing images inside a database vs. referencing them inside some protected folder in a webserver itself?

Images not as in a wrapper...think inventory and such.

Yes. Don't do it. The cons vastly outweigh the pros and, from a security perspective, you are pretty much toast anyway if someone cracks your webserver.
