Aahh - ok - i have not tested methods here - i will have a look on it.

Yes, of course. Because currently the sizes are not saved.

I will implement a method where sizes will be persistent - even if you 
close the db or close
Studio. I am working on a good solution here...

I have 3 options here:
1) Storing this stuff in the db itself - as we have discussed some time 
ago - or
2) Storing it in the PrefsDB
3) Create a special db (with different extension) in the same folder of 
the db to store all of this stuff.

1) I do not very like to CHANGE the database of the user by putting my 
own stuff into it - it will
grow - maybe corrupt or other bad things can happen even if i use 
system tables or user files in the db.

2) Obvious not a good solution...

3) I tend to do it like this. This is very flexible way. I can store as 
many stuff as i want - because
it is my own database. i do not touch the user db in any way. If the 
user want get rid of any
Studio stuff he can simply delete this file - what you think?
