Support for both image and non-image files?

[Daniel Eriksson]

How can I configure Paperclip to work with both image and non-image
files? It seems that if you set the "styles" option it assumes that
all files are images.

I have a model configured with:
has_attached_file :file, :styles => { :thumb => "100x100" },

When I for example try to upload a csv file it tries to determine the
image dimensions of it and fails with:
File /var/folders/9v/397k1fns3m768s9ywf263v_c0000gn/T/
stream10453-0.csv is not recognized by the 'identify' command.

I believe you just need to remove the :styles option.

before_post_process :conditionally_resize

def conditionally_resize
return false unless upload_content_type =~ your_image_regex
end

Honestly, considering the broad need for this functionality I'm
surprised its not built in.
