How can I make 2 uploader to point to 1 cloudinary file when using carrierwave?

Question

I have Image model:

class Image < ActiveRecord::Base
  mount_uploader :file, ModuleImageUploader
end

To upload image I use carrierwave + cloudinary:

class ModuleImageUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base
  include Cloudinary::CarrierWave

  process :resize_to_limit => [700, 700]

  version :mini do
    process :resize_and_pad => [50, 50, '#ffffff']
  end

  version :thumb do
    process :resize_and_pad => [100, 100, '#ffffff']
  end

  def public_id
    return SecureRandom.uuid
  end
end

I created new model AccountMediaContent:

class AccountMediaContent < ActiveRecord::Base
  mount_uploader :image, AccountMediaContentImageUploader
end

with it's uploader which also uses carrierwave:

class AccountMediaContentImageUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base
  include Cloudinary::CarrierWave

  process :resize_to_limit => [700, 700]

  version :mini do
    process :resize_and_pad => [50, 50, '#ffffff']
  end

  version :thumb do
    process :resize_and_pad => [100, 100, '#ffffff']
  end

  def extension_white_list
    %w(jpg jpeg gif png)
  end
end

Right now I need to the way to transfer the image from Image to AccountMediaContent. So, that means if I had such file in Image:

http://res.cloudinary.com/isdfldg/image/upload/v1344344359/4adcda41-49c0-4b01-9f3e-6b3e817d0e4e.jpg

Then it means that I need the exact same file in AccountMediaContent so the link to the file will be the same. Is there any way to achieve this?

The optimal solution for this would be to have a new model which represents the image, and then link it to both models.

Ok my solution is not really good but anyway. What I did is I wrote the script which downloaded already existing images Image in Cloudinary and then I attached them to new model AccountMediaContent.

My task looks like this:

Image.find_in_batches do |imgs_in_batch|
  imgs_in_batch.each do |img|

    # Downloading image to tmp folder (works on heroku too)
    file_format = img.file.format
    img_url = img.file.url
    tmp_file = "#{Rails.root.join('tmp')}/tmp-img.#{file_format}"

    File.open(tmp_file, 'wb') do |fo|
      fo.write open(img_url).read
    end

    # Creating AccountMediaContent with old image (it'll be uploaded to cloudinary.
    AccountMediaContent.create(image: File.open(tmp_file))

    FileUtils.rm(tmp_file)
  end
end

Hope it'll be useful for someone.
