I'm confused. You're creating a tempfile and then keeping a reference to it in your database?

You can't use Tempfile to do this. Well, you _can_ but you'll need to close the file--without unlinking it!--and then move the file created to the new location you want. At that points, you're better off just giving thumbnails a sequential identifier, or use their hash. Destroy the thumbnail file once you no longer need it. > Whenever it creates a temp file, it creates it as such: > thumb.png20101111-989-1pt72my, instead of > thumb20101111-989-1pt72my.png > > If I try to save this via Active Record, with > > @video.attachment_thumbnail = > File.open("#{File.expand_path(tmp.path)}"), > > It will save the file in the file system without the extension, which > makes it impossible to read on the browser, unless I explicitly set > the extension. > > On Nov 12, 3:54 am, Brian Troutwine <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hi Christian, >> >> Not by the end of the day, no.
