Rails Plugin Fix For attachment_fu/Kropper Scaling

Rails
1

I recently integrated Kropper into a RoR application. A fundamental
flaw in the upload-save-crop-save process used by Kropper is that
attachment_fu automatically scales down the image on first save
to :resize_to dimensions. After the subsequent crop-which may result
in a significant drop in resolution-the image is scaled back up
to :resize_to dimensions: an ugly lossy operation.

The attachment_fu_skip_resize plugin gives attachment_fu the ability
to temporarily bypass resizing of the full-size original image, thus
allowing your final cropped photos to be of the highest quality as
possible.

It’s a quick monkeypatch. Hope someone finds it useful :slight_smile:

Yes, I do! But I can’t load your plugin, your ssl server seems to have
a broken certificate :frowning:

Do you have another download link?

It’s not actually broken… just self signed. The public URL is…
https://svn.openrain.com/opensource/public/rails/plugins/
attachment_fu_skip_resize/

Coincidentally, I gave a presentation yesterday night to the Phoenix
Rails group on this stuff: attachment_fu, Kropper,
attachment_fu_skip_resize, Rmagick, and what we’re doing with it all
for the face-based searching the computation services behind
(upcoming) Mugr.com. Slides and audio links are available on my blog,
