I’m having problems using imagemagick - in my controller i have

imagemagick\_for ‘/data/pictures’, :cache =\> ‘/public/image\_cache’

and in my view i have

\<%= imagemagick\_tag ‘pic32.jpg’, ‘resize(100x100)’ %\>

But the generated html for the above is

![Pic32](http://localhost:3000/newspipe/imagemagick/pic32.jpg?commands=resize%28100x100%29)

(newspipe is my app name)

I’ve tried putting RAILS\_ROOT into the imagemagick\_for path (including  
the cache), but the generated html is the same - it’s as if  
imagemagick\_tag is ignoring the \_for bit in the controller and going to  
some default directory. Can anyone see what i’m doing wrong?

thanks
