Hi

I currently have an app running with acts\_as\_attachment and db\_system. I  
would like to convert it to attachment\_fu and file\_system.

Has anyone done this? Are there any pitfalls? I am aware that the change  
from acts\_as\_attachment to attachment\_fu is just a matter of replacing  
the  
plugins, but I am wondering about the switch from db\_system to  
file\_system.  
Is it as easy?

Just fishing for pitfalls really.

thanks  
ivor
