paperclip allows you to use s3 buckets. checkout http://dev.thoughtbot.com/paperclip/classes/Paperclip/ClassMethods.html#M000004. dunno why it's not more prominently displayed [in the readme or whatever]. gotta say, paperclip is just plain easy to setup. <3 simplicity.
disclaimer: i've never used attachment_fu but frequently hear people having problems with configuring it. something i don't really hear with paperclip. [seriously (joking)... if you can't get paperclip working... you probably can't get rails up either.] RSL On Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 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.
