# An uploader for merb, stored in app/uploaders/my_uploader.rb
#
# Usage:
#
#     identifier = "some_string_probably_filename.png"
#     uploader = MyUploader.new(identifier)
#
# Storing files to the filesystem
#     uploader.storage = :file
#
# Filename defaults to the same as identifier, but can be overridden 
#     uploader.filename # => uploader.identifier
#
# Path for storage defaults to store_dir plus filename, but can be overridden 
#     uploader.path # => uploader.store_dir / uploader.filename
#
# Read contents
#     uploader.read # => nil (file is empty)
#
# Upload a file.
#     uploader.upload!(file)
#
# Identical to:
#     uploader.storage.upload!(file)
#
# Read contents
#     uploader.read # => "..." (contents of file)
#
# Processing the files when they are uploaded:
#     class MyUploader
#       process :shrink!
#       process :inflate!
#       process :grow!
#     end
# this will call uploader.shrink!, uploader.inflate!, uploader.grow! after calling
# uploader.upload!
# 
#     class MyUploader
#       process :shrink!
#       process :inflate! => "original size"
#       process :grow! => [200, 400]
#     end
# this will call uploader.shrink!, uploader.inflate!("original size"), uploader.grow!(200, 400)
#
# those methods can then be done whatever we want. Plugins can use this, for example RMagick:
#
#     class MyUploader
#       include Merb::Uploader::RMagick
#       process :crop_resized => [300, 300]
#       process :desaturate
#       process :awesomerize
#
#       def awesomerize
#         manipulate do |img|
#           # do something
#         end
#       end
#     end
