title: Rails Engine serve and compile uploaded images
body: <p>I have a rails engine with a built-in file uploader allowing users to upload files to the engine. </p>
  
  <p>If in the application production config config.assets.compile = true then I can see the uploaded images from the engine within the application views.</p>
  
  <p>If config.assets.compile = false then the images from the engine are not available, even after I run assets:precompile ...</p>
  
  <p>in the engine.rb I have set the following: </p>
  
  <pre><code>initializer :assets do |config|
      Rails.application.config.assets.paths &lt;&lt; root.join("uploads", "my_engine")
  end    
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>any ideas?</p>
  
  <p>thanks !!!</p>
