When entering the file to test, don't put "File:" at the beginning. Just the file name. Let me know if that works for you or not.

Indeed it is working when stripping the File prefix. Maybe we could attempt to generate a Title object out of the user input, and if it is part of the NS_FILE namespace, just use the name.

Sounds fine. I'll set the priority to low, though. Easiest thing to do is insert extra text on that page saying "Please don't include the 'File:' prefix." Yeah, it's the lazy way, but hopefully in about a week we won't need this much.

Sumanah: Let's go ahead with the communications on Vips, this isn't a blocker.

This would be an easy fix. I could probably do it.

Thanks Brian!

Jan/Brian: can you two get this tested and merged on Monday?

Well I can't +2 my own patch (and currently don't have the relative vips binaries installed to actually test). Jan doesn't have +2 rights on the repo, so just by ourselves, probably not.

Thanks all (including Aaron) ;)

Obviously, we'll need to make sure the latest extension code is branched for any deploy of Vips this coming week (if the other issues are resolved in time).
