Comment (by Herbert Poul <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>):
imho... if you have a model with a fileupload .. it makes most sense to
display the filename in a template..
you will never need the full path or path relative to MEDIA_ROOT ..
so .. i think basename is more useful than the current 'filename' ..
because if i ever need 'filename' it's in a view where i can use python
code like os.path .. while in a template where i want to output a file's
name i need the basename..
of course.. i could simply write a custom method for my model or a
template filter.. but i think outputting the name of an uploaded file is
somewhat the basic functionality for a fileupload ?
it would be nice if you could rethink this.. it's just 2 lines of code..
but anyway .. maybe i'm missing some important point here.. so i leave the
ticket closed ..
