Hey,
Thanks for the info. Was the the image you were trying to import?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/26155200@N00/4787954
I've made some changes and it seems to work now:
http://wikidiy.com/mediawiki-1.8.2/index.php/Image:On_Vaci_Utca%2C_Budapest…
I like the idea of importing the description as well, I'll look into
that.
