Disable auto rotate in paperclip

Question

I'm using Paperclip in my project but some of my users are complaining that it's incorrectly rotating some images.

For some reasons I can't even imagine I figured it out that some files are with wrong exif orientation attributes. I was looking and I saw that paperclip calls ImageMagick by default using -auto-orient. I saw that the Thumbnail processor has an option to turn auto-orient on or off.

But I couldn't find a way to pass this to the Processor.

This is the code I have:

  has_attached_file :photo,
    styles: { :square => "400x400#" }

Does anyone now how to do that?

Thanks!

Answer 1

In the end I created a new processor which extends from the paperclip default Thumbnail processor to send the correct options.

class WithouAutoOrientProcessor < Paperclip::Thumbnail
  def initialize(file, options = {}, attachment = nil)
    options[:auto_orient] = false
    super
  end
end

And in the model I added

  has_attached_file :photo,
    styles: { :square => "400x400#" },
    processors: [:WithouAutoOrientProcessor]
