similar to: Square thumbnails are blurred

I have posted this here also: http://beast.caboo.se/forums/2/topics/ 823 I''m writing this for a custom application that uses attachment_fu but I thought it might interest some people here who are have problems with rmagick or image_science. rmagick is causing large memory spikes for my application and my host will not install image_science, I tried out image_science locally and the

I''ve based my code on the Agile example for uploading files, pages 362-365. I''ve successfully loaded the Picture object to the database, but I come unstuck when trying to replicate this for a thumbnail version of the original image: thumbnail = Thumbnail.new thumbnail.name = ''thumbnail_'' + @picture.name.to_s

Hello, I am progressively getting back to the NHW Project development (but it is not that easy, I am a little depressed currently...). I realize what is needed for the NHW codec is more HF energy preservation, but as all the HF energy seems to require lot of bits, I wanted to select specifically the HF energy around blurred edges, in order not to have edges with aliasing.Is it possible to

Hi, I''m having trouble with attachment_fu on windows not generating any thumbnails on the fly. I started out trying to incorporate this into my app without success then tried implementing Mike Clarke''s tutorial (http://www.clarkware.com/cgi/blosxom/2007/02/24) and got the same problem. I have resolved some gotchas I found in the "attachment_fu on Windows" thread

I''ve tried migrating acts_as_attachment to attachment_fu (just to see if I could replace RMagick with ImageScience+FreeImage), but the quality of the thumbnails is just horrendous, blurred beyond recognition (downscaling a 1280x1024 to a few considerably smaller thumbnails). Changing attachment_fu to use RMagick again and the thumbnails were crispy sharp again. I was wondering

Hi, Mini-Magick breaking. I have installed mini-magick gem. Here is my sample program require ''rubygems'' gem ''mini_magick'' include minimagick image = MiniMagick::Image.from_file(''./fun.jpg'') image.resize "100x100" image.write(''./funthumb.jpg'') Output: test.rb:3: undefined local variable or method

I followed the instructions on Mike Clark''s weblog and everything works perfectly except the thumbnail column in my DB is alwas NULL. I''m using S3 as my storage system. Anyone else having this issue with thumbnails? has_attachment :content_type => :image, :storage => :s3, :max_size => 500.kilobytes, :resize_to =>

Howdy. We use the handy file_column plug-in in some of our apps. We have a model with a file field and we upload both images and non-images into this field. It is specified as follows: file_column :file_uri, :magick => {:versions => {:thumbnail => {:size => ''200x''}}} Well, it works great for images but for non-images, the save fails. The root cause is an

Like the subject says, I''ve got a really weird problem. A co-worker added a couple of gems to our rails project. I installed these gems on my machine (a macbook, os x 10.5.6), start the server, and it says it can''t find these gems: ============= Missing these required gems: mini_exiftool = 1.0.1 mini_magick = 1.2.3 You''re running: ruby 1.8.6.114 at

Hi, I''m using Mini Magick and that attachment_fu plugin to resize images that the user uploads. Everything looks okay in my code, but I get a core dump every time an image is uploaded. The file successfully posts to the application, I can see that the original file gets copied into the folder correctly. It appears that it dumps immediately after that. I''m using Mongrel behind

I installed office 2007 using this howto over on the ubuntu forum http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1102840 Everything went great. The programs run and seem to work fine, except that the old issue of wine not rendering fonts right occurs. This issue is documented here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1009930 The solution is to add "ClientSideWithRender"="N"

1. I have seen examples similar to the following: image = MiniMagick::Image.from_file("input.jpg") image.resize "100x100" image.write("output.jpg") I''m assuming that image.resize is a method. Is there any significance to the fact that the argument for that method is not enclosed in parenthesis while the other are? Examples seem to be consistent --

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

I have a model using attachment_fu (via has_attachment) and I''m creating thumbnails for the attached images. I have an extra field ''foo'' that I''m validating on create with validates_presence_of :foo. One problem arises when I upload an image: The ''foo'' is not propogating down to the thumbnails. What should I put in my model to grab the

Browsing the net for one thing unexpectedly brought me to two good and useful documents: (1) Guide to the Secure Configuration of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 http://www.nsa.gov/ia/_files/os/redhat/rhel5-guide-i731.pdf Revision 4.1 February 28, 2011 (2) Hardening Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/files/hardening-rhel5.pdf Updated 12 August 2010 Gnome Thumbnail system is

the full-size pics upload OK, but no thumbs or resizing. There are no errors or exceptions that I can see, just not getting any thumbnails. The DB column ''thumbnail'' is always NULL rmagick-1.15.6 is freshly installed.

Can anyone point me to a resource for hand coding some sql so I can create my own for the following models: I''m using single table inheritance to store related objects eg: Thumbnail < Image < File :: ActiveRecord:Base Image has_many thumbnails Thumbnail has_one image When I come to list thumbnails I''d like to be able to: 1. List all images relating to a product 2.
