Howdy.
We use the handy file_column plug-in in some of our apps.
We have a model with a file field and we upload both images and
non-images
into this field.
It is specified as follows:
file_column :file_uri, :magick => {:versions => {:thumbnail => {:size =>
‘200x’}}}
Well, it works great for images but for non-images, the save fails. The
root
cause is an ImageMagick error - it tries to create a thumbnail and of
course, you can’t do that with a .doc or .zip and it croaks.
I thought that file_column was smart enough to only create thumbnails
for
files that Rmagick/ImageMagick could support… It appears that older
versions of file_column didn’t have this problem because we previously
were
able to add Word docs to our system.
Anyone have any insight, especially those file_column hackers out there?
Cheers,
H
