Fields can have different text on each card, but images cannot!!!

That way, once you set the filename of an image that is part of a 
background,
i wil appear on every card, where this background is placed onto...

I don't know what exactly you are doing, but you could script a 
"(pre-)opencard"
handler that will set the filename according to your cards...?

Drop a line if you need more info/assicstance :-)
