Thank you, thank you! A Google group would be great along with some extra tutorials.

Awesome, Matt! I also think a google group would be a big benefit.

I reckon, one of the first things most people using RMagick hack in attachment_fu is the resize_image method to allow it to properly crop & resize versions; I really can’t think of any reason why cropping this way isn’t the out of the box behavior.

Thanks Matt, I’m looking forward to upgrading. Do any of the current or future S3 mods happen to reduce the occurrence of EOF errors? (google search on "s3 eoferror")

Yes, cropping while resizing was a fix that I had to make also to attachment-fu back a while ago. Thanks for getting on this and cleaning it up.

Did you fix S3 storage EOF issues? My fix is to retry exception 2-3 times every time you use S3Object:
begin
S3Object…..
rescue EOFError
retry
end

Wow. Great job! I use attachment_fu on several projects and seem to have bug fixes spread out all over for it. The group thing is a great idea and I’d definitely help out with supporting it.

Matt,

Thanks for making a great plugin even better. We are looking forward to seeing what other enhancements you have in store.

Joe, I think the fix for that is to make it so the S3 connection is not persistent. I’m pretty sure I read somewhere that Marcel Molina who wrote the aws::s3 gem a_fu uses said that was the issue and the fix is to add :persistent => false in the Base.establish_connection! method of s3_backend.rb

I’m currently getting errors when trying to connect to a bucket in EU. But as far as I know that problem has nothing to do with the plugin itself. Awesome, Matt!
