Is there a plan for getting Views 2 to work with the Image module in Drupal 6?
There are a range of reports in the forum about problems with integration.
I found this thread http://drupal.org/node/220295 which has resulted in a patch that resolves some issues. But I can't tell if this patch is heading to be included in Views 2, or whether its a fix that I would need to re/apply manually.
Or if the Views developers see the problem as a Views module problem or an Image module problem.

It's not really a duplicate at all.
As I said, node/220295 is dealing with some issues about the integration, and my question remains unanswered.

Is the patch being worked on in issue node/220295 going to solve it all? Is that why Aren thinks this is a duplicate?
Is there a hidden code here for me to learn? Should I read the duplicate status as an answer to my question? Does the fact that there is a patch being worked on mean it is bound to get included in the Image module at some point?

Do I simply consider Image + Views broken, and once the patch at node/220295 is done it will be working?
Is the lack of documentation for the Views api (node/220295) going to prevent the patch at node/220295 being completed?

Those of you who have been around Drupal a long time can probably read through the 50+ entries at node/220295 and know the answer to these questions, but I surely don't, which is why I asked.

The image module for Drupal 6 is still in alpha state, which means it will have to go a long way through beta and release candidates until it is ready, which explains why not every feature is working yet. This is not the same as saying it is "broken". It's just in development, which takes time.
Additionally, views 2 was released only quite recently. A patch is being worked on in the other thread, also under the supervision of drewish. As you can see, it is not easy. If enough people help out with that patch it will get reviewed and be included in the image module (or better said, it will modify the existing codebase), it's only a matter of time. After that, the Views integration of Image will work.
