There shouldn't be anything to do in url-dispatcher: it is true that
there is special case code in URL dispatcher to send certain file:///
URIs to music-app or mediaplayer-app, but we are in the process of
removing them (among other things, it didn't handle removable storage
properly).  Given that there is no special casing for photos, there is
no equivalent work needed.

The "My Pictures" scope hasn't yet been merged to unity-scope-
mediascanner (I haven't even seen a branch for it), but that is the only
other component that will need changing here.

Title:
  Can't open photos from My Pictures scope

Status in Gallery App:
  Confirmed
Status in Unity Media Scanner Scope:
  New
Status in “url-dispatcher” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  From the My Photos scope, clicking on a picture does not correctly
  open it in the gallery-app. The problem is that any apps/scopes that
  use that request photos have no way to open them. Currently the scope
  tries to use file:/// urls and this does not work. The proposed
  solution is to use photo:// urls just like we've added for
  mediaplayer-app (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/mediaplayer-
  app/+bug/1340952)
