I get the following error at the browser: ArgumentError in ImagesController#upload invalid geometry string `110×'' ... for the call to change_geometry with an explicit size (''110x'') as the geometry string: def make_thumb (the_img) require ''RMagick'' size = "110x" debugger if ENV[''RAILS_ENV''] ==

Hello ~ I have RMagick and file_column working in RoR. In my model I am setting up some standard sizes for the submitted photos. The photo files are created and named correctly, but the sizes are wrong. Only the second argument of my geometry call is used, with the width dimension being resized proportionately. file_column :image, :magick => { :versions => { "medium" =>

I see that the SVN version of the excellent file_column plug-in can create thumbnails using the url_for_image_column helper. This uses Rmagick to create the thumbnail... Quick question... Let''s say the file is a TIFF image - can the helper create a JPG version of the thumbnail for display in the browser? Curious if the plug-in can handle that transform with some creative use of the

Hi, Currently I''m using the file_column plugin to upload images and save multiple copies of each at 3 different resoltions: file_column :name, :magick => { :versions => { "thumb96" => "96x150>", "medium250" => "250x400>", "large480" => "480X640>" } } I am wondering if

This piece of code takes an uploaded image and resizes it. It''s a bit nasty at the moment as I am still messing around with it. What I can''t understand is why it works for one iteration but then fails with: zero-length blob not permitted `'' On the line: img = Magick::Image.from_blob(self.image).first I am basically doing this in the controller and it fails on the

Hi there, I''m writing a little application that parses an image file and extracts the camera settings from the file (the EXIF data) and saves all the fields to the database. The idea is that after awhile people will be able to search based on camera make, model, lens settings, etc... and all the pictures that meet those requirements will be displayed. The picture is stored on the file

Hello, I had a problem cropping images with file_column. These are my settings: file_column :image, :magick => { :versions => { :thumb => "80x80>", :medium => "150x150>", :square => { :crop => "1:1", :size => "50x50!" } },

I''ve been doing a lot of testing witn RMagick lately, in view of reports that it leaks memory. I''m happy to report that RMagick doesn''t seem to leak at all, when used as directed -- that is, when you remember to set the image variable to nil and call GC.start manually after you''re done with an image. BUT -- one ImageMagick format seems to be leaky! I was

Hi, I need to take a single uploaded image file and save three resized versions of it, a thumbnail, normal and large version. I was planning on doing this in my model by having an array of geometry strings and looping through them, each time saving a new image object resized to the correct geometry. I know that file column does similar stuff, but I would prefer to have a separate database row

hi, is it possible to resize animated gifs with file_column? if i upload an animated gif file with file_column than the animation no longer exists... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

This doesn''t make any sense to me anymore. I have an Upload that belongs_to a Comment. Within my Upload model I expect to be able to access the associated comment with comment.foo. I can only seem to do this AFTER validation. I''m assuming before_create takes place between validation and updating the database, because when I try to access comment.foo within the validate

Hello, Recently attachment_fu stopped resizing images for me. I''m puzzled because before today it was resizing them and I don''t know what''s changed. Here''s my code: class Product < ActiveRecord::Base has_attachment :content_type => :image, :storage => :file_system, :max_size => 18.megabytes,

does anyone know much about resizing different versions of images with file_column? i tried it and everything works fine, but my question is can you do more than just make sizes with a version of image? i''m working on a photo album and i would like to resize the image to a medium size, but create a thumbnail as well and crop anything left to make the thumbnail a perfect square. --

Hi, I am looking for the best solution to resize images to fit within a certain area. The images will only be made smaller if they will not fit within a fixed size area. It is important to maintain the same proportions. This ImageMagick extension looks promising: http://vantulder.net/rails/magick/ However, I believe it may be overkill for just resizing images sometimes. I have also seen a

This is probably me having an issue with the mvc way of living.. .I''m used to perl/php scripting... I''ve got a photo blog I''m making... and in past iterations of this website, I''d just name the photos after the id of the entry. For instance: /photos/id.jpg /photos/id_thumb.jpg However, I''m having trouble finding an easy way to do this with rails.

I have two problems. I have a comment that has_many uploads. Before saving the comment, I want to be sure that the upload(s) has passed validation, but I also need to validate in other ways. For example, I do not want to save the comment if there is no comment or upload. Or, I do not want to save the comment if the image has been uploaded previously (comparing md5s with past upload md5s

Hello, I''m just starting out with both Rails and Ruby, so I hope this isn''t too simple of a question - but I''ve been struggling to find a solution. I''m using the file_column plugin to handle image uploads and thumbnail generation. In addition, I''ve wrapped the image into a polymorphic table so I can have uploaded images associated with multiple

I doubt this is the correct place to post this but I was unable to post to rails-core so I am posting here. Please let me know if there is a better place to send this. NumberHelper.number_to_human_size returns ''KB'' as the abbreviation for kilobyte. According to the SI standards kilobyte should be abbreviated ''kB''. I know this a v ery minor issue but my boss

I''m working on a photo gallery and I''m using File_column to handle the uploads of the files and create my thumbnails, but does anyone here have any idea how to have a watermark (opaque text maybe) placed over one of the versions? Any ideas on how to go about this would be great. Even if it''s just straight RMagick code, that would be fine too. Thanks in advance for the

Hi there, I''m having some problems wityh the :magick options in file_coumn and wondered if anyone else had any similar ones: basically, file_column is working fine for me as is, but whenever I try to do an automatic resize or thumbnail I get the error ''invalid image''. It seems to be a path issue as I get: unable to open image
