Hi -

I would like to iterate through a native folder and execute  
attachment\_fu per each file. Has anyone done this before? Or have any  
tips or code snippets?

Attachment\_fu works well via form - but since I have a sizable amount of  
files I simply want to batch them in - just as if I were doing it via a  
form.

Many thanks!

I’ve uploaded the relevant code that I use at [http://pastie.org/236817](http://pastie.org/236817).  
The important parts are UserImage#create\_from\_file and the FakeUpload  
class.

In my case, I just load the appropriate User, then call:

user.image = UserImage.create\_from\_file(file\_path, mime\_type)
