This is somewhat of a design decision needed. Currently it seems that FileField doesn't do anything interesting with the "default" option to the field. It certainly could, but there is nothing in the documentation about what default means in the context of a FileField.
It seems rather brain-dead currently in that it just lets the parent Field class stick the string in the DB as a raw value. what should it do? check if the value is a valid path to a file and then use that? https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/17224 -Preston -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
