I am getting a bizarre problem using attachment\_fu and I was wondering  
if anyone knows how to fix it/ why its happening.

Ive been following:  
[http://clarkware.com/cgi/blosxom/2007/02/24](http://clarkware.com/cgi/blosxom/2007/02/24)

and I am up and running as far as upload etc goes, but when it comes  
to display using:  
\<% for mugshot in @mugshots -%\>  
\<%= link\_to image\_tag(mugshot.public\_filename(:thumb)),  
mugshot.public\_filename %\>  
\<% end -%\>

I get two images, one is a thumbnail which links to the original file.  
That is what I want.  
html:  
[![Test_thumb](https://www.ruby-forum.com/image_uploads/0000/0001/test_thumb.JPG?1185027500)](https://www.ruby-forum.com/image_uploads/0000/0001/test.JPG)

but the other is:  
[![Test_thumb_thumb](https://www.ruby-forum.com/image_uploads/0000/0001/%20test_thumb_thumb.JPG)](https://www.ruby-forum.com/image_uploads/0000/0001/test_thumb.JPG)

does anyone know where on earth the ‘\_thumb\_thumb’ came from?  
and does anyone know how to solve this problem?

@mugshots has the thumbnail too. Filter it by selecting where  
parent\_id is null.
