I installed ImageMagick and the paperclip gem on my Windows machine. The thing is that :styles => {...} is not working, so I assumed that paperclip is having some problem with ImageMagick.

I tested whether ImageMagick has been properly installed by running the echo %path% command and the installation seems to be alright.

I also included the following in the development.rb file:

Paperclip.options[:command_path] = "C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.6.8-Q16"

In show.html.erb, the thumbnails are not displayed.

<%= image_tag @user.avatar.url(:small) %>
<%= image_tag @user.avatar.url(:thumb) %>

How will I know that paperclip is not working with ImageMagick on Windows?

    Try converting an image with Imagemagick right from the command line:
    http://www.imagemagick.org/script/convert.php?ImageMagick=j0e25rle0cl99l8lade2e6l8n3

    if it doesn’t work then it’s your Imagemagick installation which is not working.

    Also check if the image was created properly by rails, that should be in public/system/avatar/ folder inside you rails application folder, unless you changed the default configuration…
