[TYPO3-english] How do you generate a menu where every menu item has its own image, using DAM?

You're not misunderstanding TYPO3 menus in this case. This is about how 
tx_dam_pages->get_media_file and tx_dam_tsfe->fetchFileList take their 
information from. One sticks to the current page id, while the other 
takes it from the current cObject. Quite frankly the code from dam_pages 
is not very good. IIRC it has a few features that 
tx_dam_tsfe->fetchFileList doesn't have, but the latter is far superior 
and could be enhanced with the features from dam_pages.

Cheers
