 Description   

Creating a url to a generated image is currently cumbersome, as one needs to know gory details of how the paths are decoded in the ParameterProviderFactory corresponding to the generator they want; all that should be required of a client api to get a link to a generated image is the generator name and its parameter (i.e a node or property, usually)

This could probably be simplified if the ImagingServlet was a SelfMappingServlet.

ImagingTemplatingFunctions will probably also be impacted.

If you are not using STK - it should still be convenient to use.

Given the thousands of other issues we have open that are more highly requested, we won't be able to address this issue in the foreseeable future. Instead we will focus on issues with a higher impact, and more votes.
Thanks for taking the time to raise this issue. As you are no doubt aware this issue has been on our backlog for some time now with very little movement.
I'm going to close this to set expectations so the issue doesn't stay open for years with few updates. If the issue is still relevant please feel free to reopen it or create a new issue.
