Is there a way to set public_id in a Rails html form_for? My code is:

<%= f.attachinary_file_field :media0, :public_id => "Image1" %>

This runs fine but cloudinary saves a random id.

I cant seem an answer to this anywhere and I have tried numerous variations of the above code.

Thanks, Bryant

  Hi Bryant,

  The maintainers of the attachinary gem have their own documentation and issue tracker available here in GitHub which may be helpful: https://github.com/assembler/attachinary

  I think based on the way that project works, that it's not possible to override the default upload options in the requests it makes, but if instead of a random value, you want the files named based on the uplaoded file's name,  you can change the default method used to for selecting the public_id by changing the default Upload Preset in your account settings: https://cloudinary.com/documentation/upload_presets

  In the upload preset, you can specify "use_filename: true" and we'll use the filename of the uploaded file as a base, then add some random characters at the end to avoid collisions. You can use the filename without random characters by also specifying "unique_filename: false" in the preset

  Regards,
  Stephen
