Paper clip rails miscellaneous file problems

I am using paperclip to upload files, image processing is easy, but how can I handle images (png, jpg) and swf in the same upload, even in pdf files when I have to create different styles of images but not other formats.

While the accepted answer is dead, it looks like the solution is:

  before_post_process :is_image?
  def is_image?
    !(asset_content_type =~ /^image/).nil?
  end


Assuming your attachment is called asset

. Change if necessary.

Working code

before_post_process :is_image?
def is_image?
  !(self.pc.content_type =~ /^image/).nil?
end

Where "pc" is your attachment name
