i started using nginx upload module (which creates upload files like /tmp/000121545) but i need paperclip to use original filename while saving files (like /public/avatars/LuckyLuke.jpg)

previously in the parameters Rails were passing just

 "avatar"=>#<File:/tmp/RackMultipart20100413-6151-t3ecq0-0>

no original filename as well, so i am wondering where from does it come in paperclip? i tried looking through plugin code but it's currently a bit too complex for me.
