similar to: Create new Image Plugin?

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.

I have a file uploader application in ROR using the very nice FileColumn plugin. In looking at the source code I can see that there is a DEFAULT_OPTION hash with some root path options and such which can be merged from an options paramater.

Hello All, I''m using FileColumn to store images for a model in my app. I use filecolumn to scale uploaded images to different sizes. This much works fine. I then created a Ruby class for annotating text on the uploaded image. I tested this class from the shell and it works as expected. I then created a plugin for this class and hooked it up to the model. Here''s where I start

I installed FileColumn successfully but now find the need to get a new image size. I was wondering if there was a fast script, or method, that would run through all my products and use the existing mail file already submited and resize it according to the new specifications.

Hello, I''m a newbie to Ruby on Rails and like many others, I have been working through the depot application in the Agile Web Development book.
