opening project not always in sync with database #10

When opening projects in which frames were previously deleted error "Can't load image from file. File does not exist" displays.

This is a known issue, and in a way is related to my planned enhancement Issue 6. Both issues boil down to the sqlite database used as a project file.

Thinking about it, I'm not sure if the sqlite database really serves any purpose except while the application itself is open. Maybe we should just recreate a fresh DB each time we open a project. The real CPU burden is on scaling images for the timeline, which has nothing to do with the DB. The DB really just serves as place for sequence and as a kind of UNDO source. Once the user closes, the DB is basically redundant to the IMG DIR. Using the IMG DIR as the real source of a project gives us, magically, the ability to import any directory of images, granting us Issue 6.

Two birds → one stone
