=Allthumbs

Gots tons of thumbnails clogging up your requests? Why merge them all into a single image / single request?

=Dependencies

Library is whole dependent on Image Magick for processing files, the gem will let you know if it can't find the necessary binaries

=Usage Examples

  • After Save callback in Rails 3, using paperclip to regenerate an image based on changes

    after_save :generate_thumbnail_image def generate_thumbnail_image Allthumbs.generate (all.map {|x| x.image.path }), "#RAILS_ROOT/public/images/thumbnail-image.jpg", { :row => 3, :border => 2 } end

=Tests

Comes with a complete rspec suite:

$ rake test

=Todo

Develop some kind of helper to assist in generation of supporting HTML, e.g. you would like have rollovers or popups for each thumbnail

=Thanks

  • Thoughtbot (heavily influenced by paperclip)
  • Rick Webb (championing the open source cause)
