similar to: ImageScience, Mini-Magick and RMagick

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

I know that Zed has made mention of the fact that using RMagick with mongrel and rails is a bad thing. I''m currently using FlexImage (which in turn uses RMagick) on my application and really haven''t had too many problems. We get a restart for memory usage every 8-10 hours on one mongrel of twelve running, but I''m not sure if that''s an RMagick issue. Either way,

Hi, I have mongrel 0.3.14, with ruby 1.8.5, rails 1.1.6 and mongrel cluster 0.2.1, on debian sage 3.1 with apache 2.0, and fastthread 0.6.1. I am load balancing 3 mongrel processes using the random port trick. When I start mongrel the processes have about 60MB, but after some hour of usage the memory ballons upto more than 180MB and the site becomes terribly slow. Forcing me to restart mongrel

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 am having issues loading imagemagick and rmagick on webfaction. I have installed a rails app called balder that organizes images. my main problem is that i can''t seem to upoload the image sthrough balder. balder uses imagemagick and rmagick when i use the console and do this: irb(main):003:0> require ''RMagick'' => nil I don''t think rmagick is

Is there a pre-built disk image for rmagic on OSX (including image magic and all the other pre-requisites)? I''ve seen that it comes on the Locomotive image but I don''t want to replace my entire development environment. Does anybody have a sense of how reliable it is on OSX? I''ve seen some fairly negative comments when googling, but that''s not the best way to

I''ve been getting a bunch of reports about the latest Rails "leaking" memory more than before. Please fill out this survey: 1) Have you noticed an increase in memory usage with the latest Rails 1.2? 2) Have you changed anything else in your application? a) No, really, don''t be a dumbass like the lusers you hate. Go look at your svn logs and really figure out if

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

Hi all, I patched file_column to add imagemagick transformations of uploaded content. I added an options hash, and it takes the :magick and :format keys. :magick is a string of imagemagick command line options for convert (Reference: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/convert.php). Format is an optional extension for the finished image. If Imagemagick recognizes the extension, then it will

Hi, I''m brand new to RMagick (and pretty new to Rails for that matter!). Right now, site owners are allowed to upload product and ingredient photos to the website. Everything works great, ingredients are sized down and proportioned correctly...the problem is that the resulting images are so blurry! So I''ve been doing some research and it looks like Paperclip::Processor may be the

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''d like to implement a system in a Rails app where I allow the user to upload an image file, and then the app takes that image and manipulates it, saving a thumbnail, small, and original size version of the file to the server. How would I go about doing that? Thanks, Jeff -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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
