{div:id=description}ImageMedia fields are fields that can display images.

The user can, depending on the field state (enabled/readonly) get/set of update the contents of the field.

When the user sets/updates the content of the field, Servoy has special logic that retrieves the filename and mimetype of the uploaded file and stores those in dataproviders that follow the following naming convention:
* filename: DataProviderID (of the ImageMedia field) + "_filename"
* mimetype: DataProviderID (of the ImageMedia field) + "_mimetype"
