Validating image dimensions in attachment fu

Question

When the image gets saved, the height and width of the image get saved in the model correctly. I have a requirement where I need to validate the dimensions of the image before save. It has to be of precisely the same dimensions. But when I try to access height or width before save, it gives me nil.

Is there any way where I can achieve this?

For now, I give a warning after saving, that the image is not of the desired dimensions. But thats not neat enough.

I'm not sure about attachment_fu, but the real image probably is save in a before_save or after_save. Your validation run before the images is saved.

Use a before_validation callback to force processing of the image.
