You are going to have a problem if you use that in a real app and use Capistrano.

I suggest adding a note at the bottom, that explains that public/data is going to be overwritten every time they deploy their app unless public/data is under version control. If public/data is under version control, then every time they deploy they are going to overwrite the uploads to the production site, with the ones from the development server.

See: http://almosteffortless.com/2007/03/25/working-with-attachment_fu/ for more information. That page saved my life when I started using attachment_fu.

Hi Chris,

I'm sorry, I could not understand your concern here.

Please explain it properly and I will take your suggestion.
