choosing versions to process in background

[ben-ole]

I ve got an uploader with a bunch of versions to generate. Some of them are needed as fast as possible and others may process later in background. Is there already a possibility to choose which version to `process_in_background``?

Not at the moment. I think that it is a possibility to add this feature because it is now supported in carrierwave. Pull requests wellcome.

This would be really useful!

any update on this?

At the moment, I don't have time to look into how to accomplish this.
The other part of it is I don't think it will add much benefit. The problem is that to create any version, you need to read the file into memory. That is the time-consuming part if it is a large image. Once you do that, unless you are generating a significant amount of versions, there is likely not much gain.

Happy to have someone jump in and tackle it.

What if you want all versions to be processed in the background (except the main upload of course)? Is that also not possible currently?
