It doesn't work that way. The interpolation is using attachment.instance_read(:updated_at).to_i so it only changes if the file changes, not if anything else on the model changes. The problem you describe only happens if you are relying on Model.updated_at for the interpolation. Hello, Cameron. It doesn’t work that way.

For instance. If you have :image and :name in the database. If you do Model#update_attribute(:name, "New name") it will update your Interpolation for the attachment. It will not however update the file name on the server so you're path and the actual file will be out of sync.

I know CloudFront has a 24hours delay to refresh its content if you update a file of yours into S3, so the "change name" does the trick (renaming a file is also the only way to be sure that browser don't use a locally cached version). Nice way to implement this into paperclip, thanks again :) Thanks for the post.
