Yes, this how it works by design to make the material textures relative to your project.

The plugin localdb folder parameter is there to specify the Standalone localdb database location to make possible interchange materials between the two applications, but when you import a livedb/localdb material, the textures are expanded into the project images folder.

Do you have an UV map created in the object? Usually, all the liveDB materials are designed to work with UV maps.

I'm testing the LiveDB feature, and the materials and textures seem fine here ...

Thanks,
