I agree with Alexander. Scrivener is a unique and specialist writing tool first and foremost. I wouldn't recommend it (at least the Win version) as a general database for content and files. I tried to use it for that and found that 1) I had hard time finding stuff (even text) once hierarchy grew too large and complex; 2) even managing images was a hassle (for example resized images kept changing their size); and it slowed down once there was a lot of data (e.g. file backup took too long every time I closed the application). In fact this experience was what made me switch to a wiki solution (but you said you don't want to use markup).
Not inexplicable at all. Scrivener is targeted to writers and all
its features are focused around that goal. It is not a general content organiser.
