But, like you said, having those extra options may benefit me more in the long run. --Cory On Sep 18, 9:46 am, "Maurício Linhares" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Paperclip is simpler to setup and it does what you're looking for, but > AttachmentFu has more features, like selecting which image processing > tool and storage medium (you can even store files in a Amazon S3 > bucket), so, if you're planning on expansion, AttachmentFu might be a > better option, if you're just looking for a simple tool what works, > Paperclip may be better. > > > > On Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 10:39 AM, CPerry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I am working on a Rails app that involves my users uploading used > > items for sale.
