I see... it wants you to pass separate arguments rather than building the path first.

I was thinking that uri_for might be more trouble than it's worth since I don't like 
fully-qualified URLs in my generated source anyway.  But if it escapes (sometimes?) then 
that is indeed more helpful.

<img src="[% c.uri_for("/static/gallery",rec.dirname,rec.filename) %]" alt="photo" />

That works (using Smart_URI settings to leave off the host).  But it did not escape out 
the '&' in the filename!  Is that a bug?  I notice you changes my example from '&' to 
'and' -- that's cheating!

<img src="[% "/static/gallery/${rec.dirname}/${ rec.filename | uri }" %]" alt="photo" />

gives the correct answer: ham%20%26%20eggs.jpeg
