Question: How to delete specific version of an image

[goravbhootra]

Hi,

This is a question rather than a bug. Given the versions:

@versions [:original, :passport, :thumb]

How to delete only the :original or :thumb version after storing the image?

I am storing the original image while user uploads but after specific business logic, only passport size is retained for archival purpose.

The delete function given in documentation deletes all versions of the image. Is passing the specific version enough?

Thanks,
Gorav

Right now we have a private delete_version function what does what you want. But there are several ways to retain version if you want to:

1. define it as :skipped Bypass delete on skipped versions #8 if the scope has an archive flag, delete action wouldn't delete skipped versions
2. use delete directly from storage action, it accepts version, wouldn't recommend it through to not depend on implementation details
