Hi guys,

@Srikanth : thanks for the link

@Abhik : thanks for the tought which was actually right,

@chipbennett  : thanks for your answer, I will stick to this rule :
*Themes must not be used to *define the generation of user content*, or to
define Theme-independent site options or functionality.*
*
*
@mel : no problems for "mis leading", you helped me get an answer with this
awesome reviewers maling list! :-D

@Paul Appleyard : I am actually thinking about an alternative solution
using custom post metas for attachment post types + a bit of ajax.

Thanks,
Nicolas
