Syncing and External Field Types (Photo Picker/Take Picture)

I'm in the planning stage of putting together a Wine database. The thought and point in doing this, is that I feel I can design a (HanDBase) database that is just as powerful and useful as a dedicated wine app in the app store. However, in experimenting with both the "Photo Picker" and "Take Picture" external field types, I am now much less confident that I can pull this off. Without photos, the value of this potential database drops dramatically. At least for a wine database it does. So, I'm hoping that someone may have a remedy for me.
What I set up, on my iPhone 6, was a mock database to see how the above two field types would work. No problem setting up the four fields; 2 External Fields, and 2 Text Fields for the photo names. I was able to create records without any problem (other than HanDBase crashing occasionally). However, when I synced the file to my macbook via iTunes or HanDBase desktop, the file that gets sent only contains records that show the picture names. The pictures themselves don't get synced. The picture fields get sent empty. Emailing the file to my iPad produces the same results. Does anyone have a solution, or is this not a capability of HanDBase (perhaps due to file size limitations).
Thanks in advance for any help!
