Paperclip renaming files after they're saved

Question

How do I rename a file after is has been uploaded and saved? My problem is that I need to parse information about the files automatically in order to come up with the file

Answer 1

Another option is set to default, work for all upload.

This example change name file to 'name default' for web, example: test áé.jpg to test_ae.jpg

helper/application_helper.rb

def sanitize_filename(filename)
    fn = filename.split /(?<=.)\.(?=[^.])(?!.*\.[^.])/m
    fn[0] = fn[0].parameterize
    return fn.join '.'
end

Create config/initializers/paperclip_defaults.rb

include ApplicationHelper

Paperclip::Attachment.default_options.update({
    :path => ":rails_root/public/system/:class/:attachment/:id/:style/:parameterize_file_name",
    :url => "/system/:class/:attachment/:id/:style/:parameterize_file_name",
})

Paperclip.interpolates :parameterize_file_name do |attachment, style|
    sanitize_filename(attachment.original_filename)
end

Need restart, after put this code
