Thank you Roman, William, André and David for you comments and help. I think th behaviour of DT depends of the particular needs of every people and their particular workflow. I see your reasons, but for me it would be very useful to automatically re-import the exported file basically because the file is there and I want to see all the pictures in the directory (in that way I can confirm the export is what I intended, I didn`t change something by error, etc) without using an external viewer.
I'll follow the guidelines you mentioned and try the scripts you provide. Thank you very much.
