I just installed this thumbnail generator  
[http://www.cleverleap.com/ruby-thumbnail-generator/](http://www.cleverleap.com/ruby-thumbnail-generator/)  
and with it gd2 and the gd2 ruby binding library. Has anyone used  
this. I am trying to create thumbnails from my images and i use the  
following code in my view.

image\_tag(“thumb/photo.jpg”,:h=\>20,:w=\>30)

nothing seems to happen but the name of the image is displayed. i  
can’t find any examples of this plugin being used. Any help is  
appreciated.

working fine out for me…but I dont have much idea about

I’m using the File\_column plugin. In File column plugin has its own  
thumbnail option. we can create whatever size of image we need.

Please go through the file column plugin to create a thumbnail of  
images.

Thanks,
