I understand how to do the resizing or cropping, but it's applying the edits to all of the thumbnails and the originals, which is how I'm sure attachment_fu was intended to work.

Hello folks. I have built an engine-like plugin thanks to the new features of Rails 2.3. It's a 'Product' module for a CMS, extrapolated from a previously existing (and working) model/controller.

I was just watching a preview of a session at Aloha on Rails called "You're Doing it Wrong". In the short preview, he mentions using ActiveRecord models as enumerations (I assume he means plugins like enumerate_by). This seems like reasonable idea to me, what are the problems?
