But you can simply to use database with gathered information!
Why you think you need write info from it to Serve database???

Erich, 

Right now we DO NOT provide ability of using BOTH LOCAL and CLIENT Extras
inside of single projector.

Although Director + V4MD is probably the only IDE now that allow keep both
Xtra in the plugin folder. But I think we still get confusing because they
have the same API.

We will try later resolve this.
Probably in such way:


                + Valentina_Local.dll
    V4MD.Xtra 
                + Valentina_Client.dll


So we get single Xtra, and single API, and need just say what database we
want to get LOCAL or remote. And I think this way can work in 3 ways
    only local
    only client
    both
