Paperclip: the default functionality when you enter an imaeg URL is for the image to download... how do I change it to just open in a new tab?

Paperclip image urls have ?395762034287346 after them.. does that affect it in anyway?

I don't know why the default isn't to just open the image in a new tab... no one downloads images 开发者_Python百科anymore... srsly.

This is information about version of the image. Bowser will use it to know if it should download image from server or use the one previously cached.

The .url method for paperclip objects is no more than a simple URL, you need to enclose this within appropriate tags for your requirements, e.g. <a href="<%= img.url %>" target="_blank"><img.../></a>
