I assume you are using Rails (this is a Ruby mailing list, not a Ruby on
Rails mailing list).

You will get more pertinent responses on a Rails mailing list. In the
meantime, what you need to realize is that routes determine what controller
to invoke, not what view to render. Presumably you want the controller that
is associated with the picture show. It will probably look about like this:

$ rake routes | grep picture | grep show
     picture GET    /pictures/:id(.:format)
{:controller=>"pictures", :action=>"show"}

For more information, try the guide on routing:
