Image size in 4.0

I have read that the maximum image size in Navision is 32 KB and .bmp of course. We are doing an upgrade to 4.0 and I tested one 32 and one 42 KB images. Both displayed and printed. Does anyone know if they have increased the file size the program will accommodate in 4.0?

With further testing, I found that when I set the path to an image being displayed in an Image control, it restricted me to the 32 KB. If I imported it into the Picture field of the table (Item) and displayed it in a PictureBox control, it did not have that restriction. I actually tried both in 3.10 and had the same results, which I expected would be more limiting. Can anyone confirm that these different methods work differently, and why? Or am I safe importing larger images?

The import appears to work fine, but I don't want to tell the client to convert 100s of images and then find out otherwise.

Thanks!

    Yes, if you save picture into BLOB field, you can use up to 4TB (or some BIG size) bitmap image and you will be able to print it (I am not talking about speed :-) - but if you want use the bmp directly in some report etc. you are limited with the size 32KB, because the picture is included in the object definition...
