Thanks. Our intention is to provide a better image support in SMW 0.8,
basically by displaying thumbnails in query results that point to image
pages. This will be coordinated with some other changes in the query
formatting code (new storage abstraction layer).
We will certainly have a look at your implementation too.

True, one can emulate image support with format="template" But this is still
some manual work which will hopefully be obsolete in 0.8.

True again, templates can achieve this as well, although with some overhead in
configuration and computation that one would like to avoid. Maybe we
introduce this as an option for <ask> in SMW >0.7.

Yes, sorry about that. It really seems to be a bug that is built into the
current design of MW. I know that it is very annoying ...
