Yes, that's correct. Only metadata is stored to the database. The images
are kept as they were provided and will never be changed, so there won't
be any concurrency problems ;)
All medisnap does is create derivative images e.g. thumbnails for
quicker access/preview over the network as digicam pictures are mostly
quite large.
