Do you upload site design images into the database?
Just a poll here. Do you upload site design images, graphics, and logos into the textpattern image database or do you prefer to keep a separate folder to ftp to?
Pros / Cons?

Nope, I think it’s easier to keep all my site stuff in /lib/(css|js|img)/.
Pros
- Site images can be easily deleted (FTP=faster)
- Presentation elements stay in one area (I don’t think TXP should do CSS)
- Images keep their existing filenames
No cons from my perspective :).

For sites with other users having full access to the images, I’d not put them in the db – they could be accidentally deleted.
Otherwise having them in the db is quite convenient.

There’s an option to keep files and images in the db, as opposed to directories in the file system?

What they meant with ‘keeping images in the db’ is actually ‘uploading images through the Txp images tab’. You can also ftp them directly to your images folder or a subfolder, they won’t get renamed to 1.jpg etcetera, and won’t show up in the images tab then.
