Greetings all, This is the first release of the SuperImage plugin. The idea is you upload images to the database, and then pull them out at any size you want.

...Once you have a large number of table, manually managing the fixtures for every single test stub can be quite tedious. Use as follows class BlogArticleTest < Test::Unit::TestCase all_fixtures def test_foo ... end end Couldn''t be easier.

Performance seems identical with and without. Hope it makes someone life easier. -- Posted via http:...

I am running into some issues with my functional tests because they need info from almost every single table in the database. I have long laundry lists of fixture names to include on these test files and then I have to troubleshooot bizarre test failures because of a fixture that was not included. So is there a way to simply include all fixtures in a test? Something like: fixtures :all

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. --
