You're encountering this because Paperclip was originally built to process a file into different sizes of itself, original, medium, thumbnail etc. In that scenario the format stays the same, so if you use a jpg you'll have a thumbnail jpg as well. When you're looking at converting to a different format or, in your case, capturing a still it doesn't check the mime-type for every style it has. There is at least one branch on github where somebody has attempted to solve this, but here is the approach I've followed: 1. Create an initializer at # config/initializers/paperclip.rb Paperclip.interpolates :style_extension do |attachment, style| default = File.extname(attachment.original_filename).gsub(/^\.+/, "") case style.to_s when /theora/ then 'ogv' when /still/ then 'jpg' else default end end 2. Use that interpolation in your url and path options: :url => "/uploads/products/:basename:suffix.:style_extension", :path => ":rails_root/uploads/products/:basename:suffix.:style_extension" For reference on interpolations: http://rdoc.info/projects/thoughtbot/paperclip Hope it helps! - Parker -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
