Multiple thumbnails of image referred to by same symbol.

[iffy]

Say I need multiple thumbnails of the same image, but I need them to
use the same name (symbol)/have their own instances per say.
Is there any good way to go about it?

Also, is there an easy way to make Paperclip behave as an ActiveRecord
based class?
Almost as if has_attached_file points to a separate class.

I'm not sure what you mean in the first paragraph. You want two
different thumbnails named, say, ":thumb"? How would you tell them
apart?

If you want a separate model for your attachment, you can simply
create a new class with a "has_attached_file" call in it and no styles
defined, then create a new instance of that model with the thumbnail.
There is no method for having this happen automatically with paperclip.

Does that help?
