ruby on rails - How do I tell paperclip to not save the original file?

Question

How do I tell Paperclip not to save the original file when it is uploaded? Or even better, to store a scaled version of the file as the original?

Answer 1

I believe that you can simply define a style for :original to have paperclip replace the original with that size.

:styles => { :original => '300x168>', :cropped_thumb => {:geometry => "115x70#", :jcrop => true}, ...}
