paperclip

I'm using Paperclip (2.3) to handle image uploads on a Rails 3.0.3 app running on Ubuntu. Paperclip is handling the uploads as advertised BUT the RackMultipart* files that are created in the application's /tmp folder persist -- that is, they simply accumulate rather than deleting themselves. I realize that I could use tmpreaper to delete old tmpfiles but I'd really like to find a more elegant (and scalable) solution. I had a previous issue with temp files (i.e. RackMultipart* files) accumulating in the Rails app's root directory (instead of in /tmp). I resolved this by explicitly setting the

In my Rails app I'm letting users upload an image when they create a "release", and it should upload directly to S3. I'm getting the following error in both development and production. EDIT: I should note that this error happens when trying to upload from the release edit page on form submit. ArgumentError in ReleasesController#update missing required :bucket option Rails.root: /Users/jasondemeuse/pressed I've done this before with no issues using Carrierwave, but can't figure out what I'm doing wrong now that I'm using Paperclip. All of the fixes I've seen on SO and elsewhere are heroku

I've got a rails model using Paperclip that looks like this: has_attached_file :image, :styles => { :normal => ['857x392#', :png] }, :url => '/assets/pages/:id/:basename.:extension', :path => ':rails_root/public/assets/pages/:id/:basename.:extension' validates_attachment_size :image, :less_than => 2.megabytes When attempting to create a record of this model without an attachment to upload, the validation error is returned: There were problems with the following fields: * Image file size file size must be between 0 and 2097152 bytes. I've tried passing both :allow_blank => true and :allow_nil =

I would like to upload pictures from URLs by paperclip on S3 storage. I work with : Ruby 1.9.3 Rails 3.2.6 paperclip 3.1.3 aws-sdk 1.3.9 I have my Picture Model: class Asset has_attached_file :asset, :styles => {:thumb => "60x60>"}, :storage => :s3, :s3_credentials => "#{Rails.root}/config/s3.yml", :path => "/pictures/:id/:style.:extension" validates_attachment_content_type :asset, :content_type => ['image/gif', 'image/jpeg', 'image/png', 'image/x-ms-bmp'] end So basically I made this to download my file from an URL: picture = Asset.new(asset: open("http://www.my_url.com/my_picture.jpg"))

I have Fujitsu fi-6130 TWAIN / ISIS scanners that I'd like to trigger from a button in a jQuery Rails web page. Not only would I like to have the page tell the scanner to "go", I'd also like to upload the resulting file via Paperclip once the (single) page is scanned - ideally without requiring the user to navigate a file explorer widget to find the file manually. Each scanner is usb attached to a Windows XP desktop, though we may replace these call center desktops with Google Chrome OS. This question was asked almost a year ago, but mainly received suggestions requiring the use of commercial

I'd like to have Paperclip create 2 thumbnails for each page of a multipage PDF file that is uploaded. I'm running Paperclip 2.3.1.1 and using this in my Asset model: has_attached_file :asset, :styles => { :medium => "800x600>", :thumb => "100x100>" } So, when I upload a 3 page pdf file, I was hoping this would create 2 thumbs per page (one at 800x600 and a smaller image at 100x100). Instead, I get a 3 folders created (thumb, medium, original) - the original folder contains the origianl pdf file, while thumb and medium each contain a pdf with just the first page of the pdf all pixelated.
