You can ask Laputa if it will implement that feature. (Perhaps it already has it?) They need it to compete with Aldiko. You can also install Aldiko, access your library via the CS and then copy over the png files you need. (Although that sounds rather inconvenient). I looked at Laputa. One nice thing about it is that it leaves books you import from Aldiko in the Aldiko directory and just makes a link, so running both won't take much extra space.
This is the most useful and wonderful advice! Thank you! That settled several problems with the synchronization library on my laptop and my android device.
