+
+Paperclip is intended as an easy file attachment library for ActiveRecord. The
+intent behind it was to keep setup as easy as possible and to treat files as
+much like other attributes as possible. This means they aren't saved to their
+final locations on disk, nor are they deleted if set to nil, until
+ActiveRecord::Base#save is called. It manages validations based on size and
+presence, if required. It can transform its assigned image into thumbnails if
+needed, and the prerequisites are as simple as installing ImageMagick (which,
+for most modern Unix-based systems, is as easy as installing the right
+packages). Attached files are saved to the filesystem and referenced in the
+browser by an easily understandable specification, which has sensible and
+useful defaults.
+
+See the documentation for `has_attached_file` in [`Paperclip::ClassMethods`](http://www.rubydoc.info/gems/paperclip/Paperclip/ClassMethods) for
+more detailed options.
+
+The complete [RDoc](http://www.rubydoc.info/gems/paperclip) is online.
+
+---
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+### Ruby and Rails
+
+Paperclip now requires Ruby version **>= 2.1** and Rails version **>= 4.2**
+(only if you're going to use Paperclip with Ruby on Rails.)
+
+### Image Processor
+
+[ImageMagick](http://www.imagemagick.org) must be installed and Paperclip must have access to it. To ensure
+that it does, on your command line, run `which convert` (one of the ImageMagick
+utilities). This will give you the path where that utility is installed. For
+example, it might return `/usr/local/bin/convert`.
+
+Then, in your environment config file, let Paperclip know to look there by adding that
+directory to its path.
+
+In development mode, you might add this line to `config/environments/development.rb)`:
+
+```ruby
+Paperclip.options[:command_path] = "/usr/local/bin/"
+```
+
+If you're on Mac OS X, you'll want to run the following with [Homebrew] (http://www.brew.sh):
+
+    brew install imagemagick
+
+If you are dealing with pdf uploads or running the test suite, you'll also need
+to install GhostScript. On Mac OS X, you can also install that using Homebrew:
+
+    brew install gs
+
+If you are on Ubuntu (or any Debian base Linux distribution), you'll want to run
+the following with apt-get:
+
+    sudo apt-get install imagemagick -y
+
+### `file`
+
+The Unix [`file` command](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_(command)) is required for content-type checking.
+This utility isn't available in Windows, but comes bundled with Ruby [Devkit](https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit),
+so Windows users must make sure that the devkit is installed and added to the system `PATH`.
+
+**Manual Installation**
+
+If you're using Windows 7+ as a development environment, you may need to install the `file.exe` application manually. The `file spoofing` system in Paperclip 4+ relies on this; if you don't have it working, you'll receive `Validation failed: Upload file has an extension that does not match its contents.` errors.
+
+To manually install, you should perform the following:
+
+> **Download & install `file` from [this URL](http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/file.htm)**
+
+To test, you can use the image below:
+![untitled](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1104431/4524452/a1f8cce4-4d44-11e4-872e-17adb96f79c9.png)
+
+Next, you need to integrate with your environment - preferably through the `PATH` variable, or by changing your `config/environments/development.rb` file
+
+**PATH**
+
+    1. Click "Start"
+    2. On "Computer", right-click and select "Properties"
+    3. In Properties, select "Advanced System Settings"
+    4. Click the "Environment Variables" button
+    5. Locate the "PATH" var - at the end, add the path to your newly installed `file.exe` (typically `C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin`)
+    6. Restart any CMD shells you have open & see if it works
+
+OR
+
+**Environment**
+
+    1. Open `config/environments/development.rb`
+    2. Add the following line: `Paperclip.options[:command_path] = 'C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin'`
+    3. Restart your Rails server
+
+Either of these methods will give your Rails setup access to the `file.exe` functionality, thus providing the ability to check the contents of a file (fixing the spoofing problem)
+
+---
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+Paperclip is distributed as a gem, which is how it should be used in your app.
+
+Include the gem in your Gemfile:
+
+```ruby
+gem "paperclip", "~> 5.0.0.beta1"
+```
+
+Or, if you want to get the latest, you can get master from the main paperclip repository:
+
+```ruby
+gem "paperclip", git: "git://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip.git"
+```
+
+If you're trying to use features that don't seem to be in the latest released gem, but are
+mentioned in this README, then you probably need to specify the master branch if you want to
+use them. This README is probably ahead of the latest released version if you're reading it
+on GitHub.
+
+For Non-Rails usage:
+
+```ruby
+class ModuleName < ActiveRecord::Base
+  include Paperclip::Glue
+  ...
+end
+```
+
+---
+
+Quick Start
+-----------
+
+### Models
+
+```ruby
+class User < ActiveRecord::Base
+  has_attached_file :avatar, styles: { medium: "300x300>", thumb: "100x100>" }, default_url: "/images/:style/missing.png"
+  validates_attachment_content_type :avatar, content_type: /\Aimage\/.*\Z/
+end
+```
+
+### Migrations
+
+```ruby
+class AddAvatarColumnsToUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration
+  def up
+    add_attachment :users, :avatar
+  end
+
+  def down
+    remove_attachment :users, :avatar
+  end
+end
+```
+
+(Or you can use the Rails migration generator: `rails generate paperclip user avatar`)
+
+### Edit and New Views
+
+```erb
+<%= form_for @user, url: users_path, html: { multipart: true } do |form| %>
+  <%= form.file_field :avatar %>
+<% end %>
+```
+
+### Edit and New Views with [Simple Form](https://github.com/plataformatec/simple_form)
+
+```erb
+<%= simple_form_for @user, url: users_path do |form| %>
+  <%= form.input :avatar, as: :file %>
+<% end %>
+```
+
+### Controller
+
+```ruby
+def create
+  @user = User.create( user_params )
+end
+
+private
+
+# Use strong_parameters for attribute whitelisting
+# Be sure to update your create() and update() controller methods.
+
+def user_params
+  params.require(:user).permit(:avatar)
+end
+```
+
+### View Helpers
+
+```erb
+<%= image_tag @user.avatar.url %>
+<%= image_tag @user.avatar.url(:medium) %>
+<%= image_tag @user.avatar.url(:thumb) %>
+```
+
+### Deleting an Attachment
+
+Set the attribute to `nil` and save.
+
+```ruby
+@user.avatar = nil
+@user.save
+```
+---
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+The basics of Paperclip are quite simple: Declare that your model has an
+attachment with the `has_attached_file` method, and give it a name.
+
+Paperclip will wrap up to four attributes (all prefixed with that attachment's name,
+so you can have multiple attachments per model if you wish) and give them a
+friendly front end. These attributes are:
+
+* `<attachment>_file_name`
+* `<attachment>_file_size`
+* `<attachment>_content_type`
+* `<attachment>_updated_at`
+
+By default, only `<attachment>_file_name` is required for Paperclip to operate.
+You'll need to add `<attachment>_content_type` in case you want to use content type
+validation.
+
+More information about the options passed to `has_attached_file` is available in the
+documentation of [`Paperclip::ClassMethods`](http://www.rubydoc.info/gems/paperclip/Paperclip/ClassMethods).
+
+Validations
+-----------
+
+For validations, Paperclip introduces several validators to validate your attachment:
+
+* `AttachmentContentTypeValidator`
+* `AttachmentPresenceValidator`
+* `AttachmentSizeValidator`
+
+Example Usage:
+
+```ruby
+validates :avatar, attachment_presence: true
+validates_with AttachmentPresenceValidator, attributes: :avatar
+validates_with AttachmentSizeValidator, attributes: :avatar, less_than: 1.megabytes
+
+```
+
+Validators can also be defined using the old helper style:
+
+* `validates_attachment_presence`
+* `validates_attachment_content_type`
+* `validates_attachment_size`
+
+Example Usage:
+
+```ruby
+validates_attachment_presence :avatar
+```
+
+Lastly, you can also define multiple validations on a single attachment using `validates_attachment`:
+
+```ruby
+validates_attachment :avatar, presence: true,
+  content_type: { content_type: "image/jpeg" },
+  size: { in: 0..10.kilobytes }
+```
+
+_NOTE: Post-processing will not even **start** if the attachment is not valid
+according to the validations. Your callbacks and processors will **only** be
+called with valid attachments._
+
+```ruby
+class Message < ActiveRecord::Base
+  has_attached_file :asset, styles: {thumb: "100x100#"}
+
+  before_post_process :skip_for_audio
+
+  def skip_for_audio
+    ! %w(audio/ogg application/ogg).include?(asset_content_type)
+  end
+end
+```
+
+If you have other validations that depend on assignment order, the recommended
+course of action is to prevent the assignment of the attachment until
+afterwards, then assign manually:
+
+```ruby
+class Book < ActiveRecord::Base
+  has_attached_file :document, styles: {thumbnail: "60x60#"}
+  validates_attachment :document, content_type: { content_type: "application/pdf" }
+  validates_something_else # Other validations that conflict with Paperclip's
+end
+
+class BooksController < ApplicationController
+  def create
+    @book = Book.new(book_params)
+    @book.document = params[:book][:document]
+    @book.save
+    respond_with @book
+  end
+
+  private
+
+  def book_params
+    params.require(:book).permit(:title, :author)
+  end
+end
+```
+
+**A note on content_type validations and security**
+
+You should ensure that you validate files to be only those MIME types you
+explicitly want to support.  If you don't, you could be open to
+<a href="https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Testing_for_Stored_Cross_site_scripting_(OWASP-DV-002)">XSS attacks</a>
+if a user uploads a file with a malicious HTML payload.
+
+If you're only interested in images, restrict your allowed content_types to
+image-y ones:
+
+```ruby
+validates_attachment :avatar,
+  content_type: { content_type: ["image/jpeg", "image/gif", "image/png"] }
+```
+
+`Paperclip::ContentTypeDetector` will attempt to match a file's extension to an
+inferred content_type, regardless of the actual contents of the file.
+

+
+Internationalization (I18n)
+---------------------------
+
+For using or adding locale files in different languages, check the project
+https://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip-i18n.
+
+Security Validations
+====================
+
+Thanks to a report from [Egor Homakov](http://homakov.blogspot.com/) we have
+taken steps to prevent people from spoofing Content-Types and getting data
+you weren't expecting onto your server.
+
+NOTE: Starting at version 4.0.0, all attachments are *required* to include a
+content_type validation, a file_name validation, or to explicitly state that
+they're not going to have either. *Paperclip will raise an error* if you do not
+do this.
+
+```ruby
+class ActiveRecord::Base
+  has_attached_file :avatar
+  # Validate content type
+  validates_attachment_content_type :avatar, content_type: /\Aimage/
+  # Validate filename
+  validates_attachment_file_name :avatar, matches: [/png\Z/, /jpe?g\Z/]
+  # Explicitly do not validate
+  do_not_validate_attachment_file_type :avatar
+end
+```
+
+This keeps Paperclip secure-by-default, and will prevent people trying to mess
+with your filesystem.
+
+NOTE: Also starting at version 4.0.0, Paperclip has another validation that
+cannot be turned off. This validation will prevent content type spoofing. That
+is, uploading a PHP document (for example) as part of the EXIF tags of a
+well-formed JPEG. This check is limited to the media type (the first part of the
+MIME type, so, 'text' in `text/plain`). This will prevent HTML documents from
+being uploaded as JPEGs, but will not prevent GIFs from being uploaded with a
+`.jpg` extension. This validation will only add validation errors to the form. It
+will not cause errors to be raised.
+
+This can sometimes cause false validation errors in applications that use custom
+file extensions. In these cases you may wish to add your custom extension to the
+list of content type mappings by creating `config/initializers/paperclip.rb`:
+
+```ruby
+# Allow ".foo" as an extension for files with the MIME type "text/plain".
+Paperclip.options[:content_type_mappings] = {
+  foo: %w(text/plain)
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+Defaults
+--------
+Global defaults for all your Paperclip attachments can be defined by changing the Paperclip::Attachment.default_options Hash. This can be useful for setting your default storage settings per example so you won't have to define them in every `has_attached_file` definition.
+
+If you're using Rails, you can define a Hash with default options in `config/application.rb` or in any of the `config/environments/*.rb` files on config.paperclip_defaults. These will get merged into `Paperclip::Attachment.default_options` as your Rails app boots. An example:
+
+```ruby
+module YourApp
+  class Application < Rails::Application
+    # Other code...
+
+    config.paperclip_defaults = { storage: :fog, fog_credentials: { provider: "Local", local_root: "#{Rails.root}/public"}, fog_directory: "", fog_host: "localhost"}
+  end
+end
+```
+
+Another option is to directly modify the `Paperclip::Attachment.default_options` Hash - this method works for non-Rails applications or is an option if you prefer to place the Paperclip default settings in an initializer.
+
+An example Rails initializer would look something like this:
+
+```ruby
+Paperclip::Attachment.default_options[:storage] = :fog
+Paperclip::Attachment.default_options[:fog_credentials] = { provider: "Local", local_root: "#{Rails.root}/public"}
+Paperclip::Attachment.default_options[:fog_directory] = ""
+Paperclip::Attachment.default_options[:fog_host] = "http://localhost:3000"
+```
+---
+
+Migrations
+----------
+
+Paperclip defines several migration methods which can be used to create the necessary columns in your
+model. There are two types of helper methods to aid in this, as follows:
+
+### Add Attachment Column To A Table
+
+The `attachment` helper can be used when creating a table:
+
+```ruby
+class CreateUsersWithAttachments < ActiveRecord::Migration
+  def up
+    create_table :users do |t|
+      t.attachment :avatar
+    end
+  end
+
+  # This is assuming you are only using the users table for Paperclip attachment. Drop with care!
+  def down
+    drop_table :users
+  end
+end
+```
+
+You can also use the `change` method, instead of the `up`/`down` combination above, as shown below:
+
+```ruby
+class CreateUsersWithAttachments < ActiveRecord::Migration
+  def change
+    create_table :users do |t|
+      t.attachment :avatar
+    end
+  end
+end
+```
+
+### Schema Definition
+
+Alternatively, the `add_attachment` and `remove_attachment` methods can be used to add new Paperclip columns to an existing table:
+
+```ruby
+class AddAttachmentColumnsToUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration
+  def up
+    add_attachment :users, :avatar
+  end
+
+  def down
+    remove_attachment :users, :avatar
+  end
+end
+```
+
+Or you can do this with the `change` method:
+
+```ruby
+class AddAttachmentColumnsToUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration
+  def change
+    add_attachment :users, :avatar
+  end
+end
+```
+
+### Vintage syntax
+
+Vintage syntax (such as `t.has_attached_file` and `drop_attached_file`) is still supported in
+Paperclip 3.x, but you're advised to update those migration files to use this new syntax.
+
+---
+
+Storage
+-------
+
+Paperclip ships with 3 storage adapters:
+
+* File Storage
+* S3 Storage (via `aws-sdk`)
+* Fog Storage
+
+If you would like to use Paperclip with another storage, you can install these
+gems along side with Paperclip:
+
+* [paperclip-azure-storage](https://github.com/gmontard/paperclip-azure-storage)
+* [paperclip-dropbox](https://github.com/janko-m/paperclip-dropbox)
+
+### Understanding Storage
+
+The files that are assigned as attachments are, by default, placed in the
+directory specified by the `:path` option to `has_attached_file`. By default, this
+location is `:rails_root/public/system/:class/:attachment/:id_partition/:style/:filename`.
+This location was chosen because, on standard Capistrano deployments, the
+`public/system` directory can be symlinked to the app's shared directory, meaning it
+survives between deployments. For example, using that `:path`, you may have a
+file at
+
+    /data/myapp/releases/20081229172410/public/system/users/avatar/000/000/013/small/my_pic.png
+
+_**NOTE**: This is a change from previous versions of Paperclip, but is overall a
+safer choice for the default file store._
+
+You may also choose to store your files using Amazon's S3 service. To do so, include
+the `aws-sdk` gem in your Gemfile:
+
+```ruby
+gem 'aws-sdk', '>= 2.0.34'
+```
+
+And then you can specify using S3 from `has_attached_file`.
+You can find more information about configuring and using S3 storage in
+[the `Paperclip::Storage::S3` documentation](http://www.rubydoc.info/gems/paperclip/Paperclip/Storage/S3).
+
+Files on the local filesystem (and in the Rails app's public directory) will be
+available to the internet at large. If you require access control, it's
+possible to place your files in a different location. You will need to change
+both the `:path` and `:url` options in order to make sure the files are unavailable
+to the public. Both `:path` and `:url` allow the same set of interpolated
+variables.
+
+---
+
+Post Processing
+---------------
+
+Paperclip supports an extensible selection of post-processors. When you define
+a set of styles for an attachment, by default it is expected that those
+"styles" are actually "thumbnails." However, you can do much more than just
+thumbnail images. By defining a subclass of Paperclip::Processor, you can
+perform any processing you want on the files that are attached. Any file in
+your Rails app's `lib/paperclip` and `lib/paperclip_processors` directories is
+automatically loaded by Paperclip, allowing you to easily define custom
+processors. You can specify a processor with the `:processors` option to
+`has_attached_file`:
+
+```ruby
+has_attached_file :scan, styles: { text: { quality: :better } },
+                         processors: [:ocr]
+```
+
+This would load the hypothetical class Paperclip::Ocr, which would have the
+hash "{ quality: :better }" passed to it along with the uploaded file. For
+more information about defining processors, see
+[Paperclip::Processor](https://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip/blob/master/lib/paperclip/processor.rb).
+
+The default processor is Paperclip::Thumbnail. For backward compatibility
+reasons, you can pass a single geometry string or an array containing a
+geometry and a format that the file will be converted to, like so:
+
+```ruby
+has_attached_file :avatar, styles: { thumb: ["32x32#", :png] }
+```
+
+This will convert the "thumb" style to a 32x32 square in PNG format, regardless
+of what was uploaded. If the format is not specified, it is kept the same (i.e.
+JPGs will remain JPGs). For more information on the accepted style formats, see
+[here](http://www.imagemagick.org/script/command-line-processing.php#geometry).
+
+Multiple processors can be specified, and they will be invoked in the order
+they are defined in the `:processors` array. Each successive processor will
+be given the result of the previous processor's execution. All processors will
+receive the same parameters, which are defined in the `:styles` hash.
+For example, assuming we had this definition:
+
+```ruby
+has_attached_file :scan, styles: { text: { quality: :better } },
+                         processors: [:rotator, :ocr]
+```
+
+then both the :rotator processor and the :ocr processor would receive the
+options `{ quality: :better }`. This parameter may not mean anything to one
+or more or the processors, and they are expected to ignore it.
+
+_NOTE: Because processors operate by turning the original attachment into the
+styles, no processors will be run if there are no styles defined._
+
+If you're interested in caching your thumbnail's width, height and size in the
+database, take a look at the [paperclip-meta](https://github.com/teeparham/paperclip-meta) gem.
+
+Also, if you're interested in generating the thumbnail on-the-fly, you might want
+to look into the [attachment_on_the_fly](https://github.com/drpentode/Attachment-on-the-Fly) gem.
+
+---
+
+Events
+------
+
+Before and after the Post Processing step, Paperclip calls back to the model
+with a few callbacks, allowing the model to change or cancel the processing
+step. The callbacks are `before_post_process` and `after_post_process` (which
+are called before and after the processing of each attachment), and the
+attachment-specific `before_<attachment>_post_process` and
+`after_<attachment>_post_process`. The callbacks are intended to be as close to
+normal ActiveRecord callbacks as possible, so if you return false (specifically
+\- returning nil is not the same) in a `before_filter`, the post processing step
+will halt. Returning false in an `after_filter` will not halt anything, but you
+can access the model and the attachment if necessary.
+
+_NOTE: Post processing will not even **start** if the attachment is not valid
+according to the validations. Your callbacks and processors will **only** be
+called with valid attachments._
+
+```ruby
+class Message < ActiveRecord::Base
+  has_attached_file :asset, styles: {thumb: "100x100#"}
+
+  before_post_process :skip_for_audio
+
+  def skip_for_audio
+    ! %w(audio/ogg application/ogg).include?(asset_content_type)
+  end
+end
+```
+
+---
+
+URI Obfuscation
+---------------
+
+Paperclip has an interpolation called `:hash` for obfuscating filenames of
+publicly-available files.
+
+Example Usage:
+
+```ruby
+has_attached_file :avatar, {
+    url: "/system/:hash.:extension",
+    hash_secret: "longSecretString"
+}
+```
+
+
+The `:hash` interpolation will be replaced with a unique hash made up of whatever
+is specified in `:hash_data`. The default value for `:hash_data` is `":class/:attachment/:id/:style/:updated_at"`.
+
+`:hash_secret` is required - an exception will be raised if `:hash` is used without `:hash_secret` present.

+
+MD5 Checksum / Fingerprint
+-------
+
+An MD5 checksum of the original file assigned will be placed in the model if it
+has an attribute named fingerprint.  Following the user model migration example
+above, the migration would look like the following:
+
+```ruby
+class AddAvatarFingerprintColumnToUser < ActiveRecord::Migration
+  def up
+    add_column :users, :avatar_fingerprint, :string
+  end
+
+  def down
+    remove_column :users, :avatar_fingerprint
+  end
+end
+```
+
+File Preservation for Soft-Delete
+-------
+
+An option is available to preserve attachments in order to play nicely with soft-deleted models. (acts_as_paranoid, paranoia, etc.)
+
+```ruby
+has_attached_file :some_attachment, {
+    preserve_files: "true",
+}
+```
+
+This will prevent ```some_attachment``` from being wiped out when the model gets destroyed, so it will still exist when the object is restored later.
+
+---
+
+Custom Attachment Processors
+-------
+
+Custom attachment processors can be implemented and their only requirement is
+to inherit from `Paperclip::Processor` (see `lib/paperclip/processor.rb`).
+For example, when `:styles` are specified for an image attachment, the
+thumbnail processor (see `lib/paperclip/thumbnail.rb`) is loaded without having
+to specify it as a `:processor` parameter to `has_attached_file`.  When any
+other processor is defined, it must be called out in the `:processors`
+parameter if it is to be applied to the attachment.  The thumbnail processor
+uses the ImageMagick `convert` command to do the work of resizing image
+thumbnails.  It would be easy to create a custom processor that watermarks
+an image using ImageMagick's `composite` command.  Following the
+implementation pattern of the thumbnail processor would be a way to implement a
+watermark processor.  All kinds of attachment processors can be created;
+a few utility examples would be compression and encryption processors.
+
+---
+
+Dynamic Configuration
+---------------------
+
+Callable objects (lambdas, Procs) can be used in a number of places for dynamic
+configuration throughout Paperclip.  This strategy exists in a number of
+components of the library but is most significant in the possibilities for
+allowing custom styles and processors to be applied for specific model
+instances, rather than applying defined styles and processors across all
+instances.
+
+### Dynamic Styles:
+
+Imagine a user model that had different styles based on the role of the user.
+Perhaps some users are bosses (e.g. a User model instance responds to `#boss?`)
+and merit a bigger avatar thumbnail than regular users. The configuration to
+determine what style parameters are to be used based on the user role might
+look as follows where a boss will receive a `300x300` thumbnail otherwise a
+`100x100` thumbnail will be created.
+
+```ruby
+class User < ActiveRecord::Base
+  has_attached_file :avatar, styles: lambda { |attachment| { thumb: (attachment.instance.boss? ? "300x300>" : "100x100>") } }
+end
+```
+
+### Dynamic Processors:
+
+Another contrived example is a user model that is aware of which file processors
+should be applied to it (beyond the implied `thumbnail` processor invoked when
+`:styles` are defined). Perhaps we have a watermark processor available and it is
+only used on the avatars of certain models.  The configuration for this might be
+where the instance is queried for which processors should be applied to it.
+Presumably some users might return `[:thumbnail, :watermark]` for its
+processors, where a defined `watermark` processor is invoked after the
+`thumbnail` processor already defined by Paperclip.
+
+```ruby
+class User < ActiveRecord::Base
+  has_attached_file :avatar, processors: lambda { |instance| instance.processors }
+  attr_accessor :processors
+end
+```
+

+
+Logging
+----------
+
+By default, Paperclip outputs logging according to your logger level. If you want to disable logging (e.g. during testing) add this into your environment's configuration:
+```ruby
+Your::Application.configure do
+...
+  Paperclip.options[:log] = false
+...
+end
+```
+
+More information in the [rdocs](http://www.rubydoc.info/github/thoughtbot/paperclip/Paperclip.options)
+
+---
+
+Deployment
+----------
+
+To make Capistrano symlink the `public/system` directory so that attachments
+survive new deployments, set the `linked_dirs` option in your `config/deploy.rb`
+file:
+
+```ruby
+set :linked_dirs, fetch(:linked_dirs, []).push('public/system')
+```
+
+### Attachment Styles
+
+Paperclip is aware of new attachment styles you have added in previous deploys. The only thing you should do after each deployment is to call
+`rake paperclip:refresh:missing_styles`.  It will store current attachment styles in `RAILS_ROOT/public/system/paperclip_attachments.yml`
+by default. You can change it by:
+
+```ruby
+Paperclip.registered_attachments_styles_path = '/tmp/config/paperclip_attachments.yml'
+```
+
+Here is an example for Capistrano:
+
+```ruby
+namespace :deploy do
+  desc "build missing paperclip styles"
+  task :build_missing_paperclip_styles do
+    on roles(:app) do
+      within release_path do
+        with rails_env: fetch(:rails_env) do
+          execute :rake, "paperclip:refresh:missing_styles"
+        end
+      end
+    end
+  end
+end
+
+after("deploy:compile_assets", "deploy:build_missing_paperclip_styles")
+```
+
+Now you don't have to remember to refresh thumbnails in production every time you add a new style.
+Unfortunately, it does not work with dynamic styles - it just ignores them.
+
+If you already have a working app and don't want `rake paperclip:refresh:missing_styles` to refresh old pictures, you need to tell
+Paperclip about existing styles. Simply create a `paperclip_attachments.yml` file by hand. For example:
+
+```ruby
+class User < ActiveRecord::Base
+  has_attached_file :avatar, styles: { thumb: 'x100', croppable: '600x600>', big: '1000x1000>' }
+end
+
+class Book < ActiveRecord::Base
+  has_attached_file :cover, styles: { small: 'x100', large: '1000x1000>' }
+  has_attached_file :sample, styles: { thumb: 'x100' }
+end
+```
+
+Then in `RAILS_ROOT/public/system/paperclip_attachments.yml`:
+
+```yml
+---
+:User:
+  :avatar:
+  - :thumb
+  - :croppable
+  - :big
+:Book:
+  :cover:
+  - :small
+  - :large
+  :sample:
+  - :thumb
+```
+
+---
+
+Testing
+-------
+
+Paperclip provides rspec-compatible matchers for testing attachments. See the
+documentation on [Paperclip::Shoulda::Matchers](http://www.rubydoc.info/gems/paperclip/Paperclip/Shoulda/Matchers)
+for more information.
+
+**Parallel Tests**
+
+Because of the default `path` for Paperclip storage, if you try to run tests in
+parallel, you may find that files get overwritten because the same path is being
+calculated for them in each test process. While this fix works for
+parallel_tests, a similar concept should be used for any other mechanism for
+running tests concurrently.
+
+```ruby
+if ENV['PARALLEL_TEST_GROUPS']
+  Paperclip::Attachment.default_options[:path] = ":rails_root/public/system/:rails_env/#{ENV['TEST_ENV_NUMBER'].to_i}/:class/:attachment/:id_partition/:filename"
+else
+  Paperclip::Attachment.default_options[:path] = ":rails_root/public/system/:rails_env/:class/:attachment/:id_partition/:filename"
+end
+```
+
+The important part here being the inclusion of `ENV['TEST_ENV_NUMBER']`, or a
+similar mechanism for whichever parallel testing library you use.
+
+**Integration Tests**
+
+Using integration tests with FactoryGirl may save multiple copies of
+your test files within the app. To avoid this, specify a custom path in
+the `config/environments/test.rb` like so:
+
+```ruby
+Paperclip::Attachment.default_options[:path] = "#{Rails.root}/spec/test_files/:class/:id_partition/:style.:extension"
+```
+
+Then, make sure to delete that directory after the test suite runs by adding
+this to `spec_helper.rb`.
+
+```ruby
+config.after(:suite) do
+  FileUtils.rm_rf(Dir["#{Rails.root}/spec/test_files/"])
+end
+```
+
+**Example of test configuration with Factory Girl**
+
+
+```ruby
+FactoryGirl.define do
+  factory :user do
+    avatar { File.new("#{Rails.root}/spec/support/fixtures/image.jpg") }
+  end
+end
+```
