Yes, as I said, you attached an image instead of copy/pasting the equivalent text out of the terminal window (including some of the stack trace if appropriate). When asking questions it is important to make life as easy as possible for those who may be able to help, to understand the question. We are used to seeing error messages in the terminal window and immediately understanding the context. In order to see which line was generating the error I had to go and look at the image. > > I thought of adding .to_s to @image, but that leads me to the error: > Paperclip::adapterregistry::nohandlererror in PinsController#copy > No handler found for > "/system/pins/images/000/000/083/original/Alt-J_-_This_is_all_yours.jpg?1420125230" Because, again, you have not copy/pasted the complete message, and possibly stack trace, from the terminal I do not know which line of code generated that error so have no idea of the cause. > > I think I need to tell it to just pic out the .jpg itself, not the whole > directory listing.
