You are going to have a problem if you use that in a real app and use
Capistrano.

I suggest adding a note at the bottom, that explains that public/data is
going to be overwritten every time they deploy their app unless
public/data is under version control. If public/data is under version
control, then every time they deploy they are going to overwrite the
uploads to the production site, with the ones from the development
server.

for more information. That page saved my life when I started using
attachment_fu.

Hi Chris,

I’m sorry, I could not understand your concern here.

Please explain it properly and I will take your suggestion.
