  * BASIC FUNCTIONNING OF A BACKGROUND CHOOSER:
  *   It get all image names with imageNames() to put them in eg. a QComboBox and then,
  *   when it's time to get the preview of an image it call preview() with the image name to get it.
  *   Preview are only computed on demand and then cached to fast the next demands (only the pointer will have to be returned).
  *   Previews are scalled to fit in a rectangle of 100 by 75 pixels, and with a white background color.
  *   They are also saved to files, so that the scalling/opaquification has not to be done later (they will be directly loaded from file).
  *   Previews are saved in Global::backgroundsFolder()+"previews/", so that emptying the folder is sufficient to remove them.
  * BASIC FUNCTIONNING OF AN IMAGE REQUESTER:
  *   When eg. a basket is assigned an image name, it register it with subscribe().
  *   The full pixmap is then loaded from file and cached (if it was not already loaded) and the "tiled" property is read from the image configuration file.
  *   If this object want to have the pixmap applyed on a background color (for no transparency => really faster drawing),
  *   it should register for the couple (imageName,color) with suscribe(): the pixmap will be created in the cache.
  *   Then, the object can get the subscribed images with pixmap() or opaquePixmap() and know if it's tiled with tiled().
  *   When the user removed the object background image (or when the object/basket/... is removed), the object should call unsubscribe() for
  *   EVERY subscribed image and image couples. Usage count is decreased for those images and a garbage collector will remove the cached images
  *   if nothing is subscribed to them (to free memory).
