Stuart: So artefacts don't count as being 'in' a view when they appear inside the view description, but don't appear in any block.

They probably should, but I think we should leave this bug till later. It's not too serious and it'll require messing around with the db schema a bit, and we might also want to think about whether we can make it clearer to the view owners exactly what permissions they're placing on things when they go pasting links around like that.

Don: Yes, you should be able to work around this bug using a link to a sitewide image, as long as the site image is in the 'public' directory in Site Files.

You should also be able to do it with any old image, if use the right src link in the img tag as Stuart hinted at, basically something like:

  <img alt="blah" src="http://example.com/artefact/file/download.php?file=123&view=456">

As long as view 456 has public access, and image 123 is in view 456, it should work.
