Hi It''s extremely rare that I have to post something on the Rails list, but this is one of those times that I''ve been completely stuck for countless hours. Environment: Rails 2.3.3 I''ve implemented a custom processor proc for video thumbnailing with Paperclip (latest trunk version as git submodule, and yes, it''s updated) using the instructions posted

Hi, I am using paperclip to upload files. The problem I am facing is, based on my object property I need to preserve my file. Means my object should be deleted from db but the file need to be restored. I am using the option :preserve_files => true. If I keep the above option in model it will be access to all the objects of the model. I need to restore only for limited objects.

Hey, got a weird one. I''ve been playing with a couple of Rails 3 apps and today I have broken both. Seemingly by updating my paperclip gem. Gemfile ..... gem ''paperclip'', :git => ''git://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip.git'', :branch => ''rails3'' It appears the latest version of paperclip or at least in the branch has broken in

Would anyone happen to know how to stub a call to S3 from Paperclip? I''ve searched every where and no one seems to have posted anything about this. I''ve done very little in the way of spec''ing dependencies on external services, so any ideas on how to do this with Paperclip & S3 would be most appreciated. I''m happy with stubbing out Thinking Sphinx - would

Hi All, I have a question here: How to Speed up image processing of Paperclip in Acceptance Tests When running capybara feature specs I can see lots of Slow factory notices which are populated byfactory_girl.

Hi, I''m trying to get Paperclip to work with asset_host and have totally failed to do so. The idea is to use asset_host to specify the url that I want to use for my image hosting (www.unlimitedwebhosting.co.uk) so that link helpers will use the image host location instead of the local file system.
