Hi, I was wondering if there was anyway to add a user’s id to the file  
path of all images uploaded.

Currently I’m using the following function in my image model to set the  
file path:

def full\_filename(thumbnail = nil)  
file\_system\_path = (thumbnail ? thumbnail\_class :  
self).attachment\_options[:path\_prefix].to\_s  
File.join(RAILS\_ROOT, file\_system\_path, thumbnail\_name\_for(thumbnail))  
end
