# Filename: RAILS_ROOT/lib/paperclip_processors/thumbnail_with_dimensions.rb
# Required Configuration in the model
#   has_attached_file :image,
#    :styles => {
#      :thumbnail => {
#        :geometry => "100x100>",
#        :format => :png,
#        :processors => [:thumbnail_with_dimensions],
#        :mystyle => :thumbnail
#      },
#      :some_other_style => {
#        :geometry => "640x480>",
#        :processors => [:thumbnail_with_dimensions],
#        :mystyle => :some_other_style
#      }
#    }
#
# NOTE: Since the name of the style isn't available in the processor we need to pass it in using a configuration variable.
# I've called it :mystyle just to make sure I don't step on anything in the core.
#
# To get a dimension in a view just do:
# <%= @object.image.width(:thumbnail) %> # Gives the width of the thumbnail
# <%= @object.image.height(:thumbnail) %> # Gives the height of the thumbnail
# <%= @object.image.width %> # Gives the width of the original
# <%= @object.image.dimensions %> Will return the dimensions hash
