I''m trying to use file_column in an app I''m writing. Simple file uploads are working fine. However, when I try and use the :magick options to make resized versions, WEBrick dies. This is the Media model: class Media < ActiveRecord::Base file_column :media_item, :magick => { :versions => { :thumb => {:size =>

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

Hi, everyone! I have been recently hit by ImageMagick/Rmagick memory leak issues. I know I can lesson the problem by manually starting up GC each time I use Rmagick library but ImageMagick seems to use way too much memory nevertheless. (on shared hosting setup anyway) Is there a decent replacement for ImageMagick library? I used to think ImageMagick was quite efficient because its

I am using RMagick in my app and am having problems in deployment. The deployment machine (Fedora Core 5) can''t find RMagick unless I change the "require" syntax from that used on the dev machine (OS X). And the dev machine doesn''t like the syntax that works on the deployment server! To wit: [OS X] $ script/console Loading development environment. >> require_gem

I''m going to be generating thumbnails from user uploaded images. I''m looking around at the libraries available to do this sort of thing and there are three that look promising.

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

I read the 13th recipe in the book "Rails Recipes" from Chad Fowler. I install with gem the gruff-library (gem install gruff). After the installation, I download the "rmagick-win32-1.13.0_IM-6.2.9-3.zip" file and install it on my win32-machine. It was successfully! So, I create a controller with script/generate. In a method, which I wrote after the creation, I''ll make

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

Tracked down the source of my problem... It seems that Rmagick isn''t properly cropping/resizing GIF or PNG images when uploaded via file_column. I can upload JPG files just fine. Originally I had installed ImageMagick via Debian''s apt-get and built the rmagick gem using "gem install rmagick". This wasn''t working so I uninstalled ImageMagick and tried to

i have a rails app with a form that allows uploading an image file. I take the image file and read it into rmagick to verify that it''s an image. For some reason I can''t catch an exception thrown by rmagick inside the app. After an invalid image file is uploaded the process just hangs. I have to kill mongrel and restart to use the app again. img =
