Q: 

What's the best ruby gem for image uploads?

Hey everyone,

I've been dealing with Rails 3, Paperclip and Windows 7 for a few nights now and don't feel like I'm actually getting anywhere. I've hit config issue after config issue and it's a bit of a nightmare. Can anyone recommend any other gems that will accomplish the same thing?

Thanks, Brandon

A: 

Attachment_fu does the same... but you might have better luck posting another question with the problem you are having in Paperclip

I don't think the solution is the change the lib, attachement_fu is outdated and i also think it's not maintained anymore, try to solve the issue with paperclip.

you can visit #rubyonrails or #railsbridge on irc.freenode.net to get some help

+1 for this one - you probably have problem with configuring imagemagick library and none of the other solutions will help you as all depends on it.And paperclip is really good solution.

One problem I'm having is that paperclip.rb is adding single quotes around command line keys, ie '-resize' instead of just -resize. That seems like a problem with the plugin not the imagemagick library. It seems strange that doing that would work fine on a Linux env and not Windows.

those aren't regular quotes, it's one of the ruby ways to invoke a command line. those are (`) and not ('). not sure what your problem is, you might want to elaborate more on what the actual issue is.

You can try two other gem about image manipulation if you really want
