I recently got File_Column installed and working and it is great, but
now I find myself needing to resize all the images I already uploaded.
Through the web I found that the answer lies in going to the
script/console and adding:
Attachment.find(:all).each do |a|
a.asset = File.open(a.asset)
a.save
end
But what exactly do I do next, I tried running it with no success. How
can I make it work?
Thanks!

I went into the console, and selected all of my products that do not have a file name in the image field, so that I would only get the products with current images. So with that I made a loop to go through each product:>> for product in @products >> product.image = File.open(product.image) >> product.save >> endNow the loop works, I get no errors, but every file is loaded into the tmp folder! After sorting through the returned array I noticed: #<Product:0x2503acc @errors=#<ActiveRecord::Errors:0x2476500 @errors={"image"=>["invalid image"]}, Can anyone guide me on the next step? I''ve searched everywhere but cant seem to find a solution! Thanks

I''d like to know and add to the File Column HowTwo, as this seems to be a common question with no replies! Anyone? Any help/guidance would be appreciated.

Any help/guidance would be appreciated.Shai, I believe that if you look at the File_Column docs it will tell you that File_Column works with ImageMagick (on Linux) in order to resize images on upload. You can even create multiple versions of the same file. I hope this helps. Good luck, Rob D. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
Thanks for the reply... I looked into doing ImageMagick and running it through the console, but was wondering if there wasn''t a simpler, more sophisticated manner of updating the existing image tree with the new versions. Is there no way to tie in the new versions set in the Model when opening an image and saving it? I would think this is a common problem, did no one else need to add/change image sizes? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Newbie-File_Column-and-Console-Question.-t1394748.html#a3853979 Sent from the RubyOnRails Users forum at Nabble.com.
