If you fill in the mime type field for a known image and view it, does that work?

Yes, that works. See:

But first i had to change in the LocalSettings.php:

$wgHashedUploadDirectory = true (Default was false) otherwise the link would point to the folder and not to
the subfolder.

instead of

Manualy filling in the mime type field and the format for a known image works indeed. But that is only a

The bug is severe if your website has a lot of Images.

Update: To correct this problem, run the rebuildImages.php maintenance script
from the command line.

Marking bug as FIXED, rebuildImages.php should work fine with $wgHashedUploadDirectory correctly set and 1.5 is out of support since a while.
