I'm very glad to hear that :-) I will try to provide any information you need 
to catch (and squasch) the bug :-)

There is some files you may look at:

http://www.ceti.pl/~wozniakk/tc/Test1.tc
http://www.ceti.pl/~wozniakk/tc/Test2.tc
http://www.ceti.pl/~wozniakk/tc/Test3.tc

It is the same collection in various stages of corruption. I created a few 
backups after i discovered the problem.
You may look at the "Pulp Fiction" movie in any of Test files. 
1. Full movie information is present but NO IMAGE is shown.
2. Next you could try to Update entry from IMDB - still NO IMAGE
3. Then edit the entry and CLEAN IMAGE
4. next again update from IMDB
5. Image is THERE !!!

Maybe the problem is with some custom fields i added to my database ??

Anyway if you want to reproduce this problem, try to move around in database, 
add some entries, delete some, update a few, then save the database in .tc 
file (with images). After some saves, you will discover that saved file is 
SMALLER than original (and BAAAH you lost some images ;-)  )

I will try to create more isolated test case so you could reproduce this 
problem. I hope i can help :-)
