Why 2 different elements for Picture...

Why are there two different types of picture element? Is it possible to change a picture to a picture link or vice versa? Wouldn't it be easier with only one picture element and the ability to add a link to any picture. I'm guessing I have to delete and replace one with the other and re-do all the styling which seems a bit overkill just to add a link.

If you look at the exported code, the code for a picture link is different than just a picture. While they both have similar styling settings, there are some differences in other settings. Therefore, it makes sense to have two different elements.

Did you know that Web Form Builder can be used for both simple and complicated forms and that it's not limited to the default fonts and buttons? Take a look at a form we developed for WindowTinting.com.

But surely code could be exported differently from the program depending if a link is added to a picture element or not? From an end user point of view it seems more awkward than it should be when you add standard pictures and then want to add links to them at a later stage. If two types are needed then maybe having ability to convert one type to the other would be handy.

Anyways it is what it is, every program has quirks and limits but just posting feedback on something I found annoying.
