But why do you not use the 'ftools' of ruby? so you can forgot the rake task.
Create a folder: FileUtils.mkdir_p 'name' Destroy a folder: FileUtils.rm_rf(path) With after_save you can call the method who use .mkdir and with after_destroy .rm_rf... for example: after_save :create_folder after_destroy :destroy_folder private def create_folder FileUtils.mkdir_p 'name' end def destroy_folder FileUtils.rm_rf(path) end Elias Orozco wrote: > Maybe is good to explain what I am trying to do a little more.
