Comment (by john-parton):
I've got a fix that I think should pretty much always work.
Like I alluded to earlier, it requires some deep knowledge of Django's
internals. You have to know exactly when to side-step a descriptor and
what the purpose of the descriptor is.
Basically, the FileField.save() method will call the descriptors __set__
method with the value being a string. That's required, because the storage
backend might return a different string than you originally fed in. I
believe the motivating reason for this was to avoid accidentally
overwriting files. The other function of the descriptor is to calculate
and store the width and height values if it's configured. However, the
descriptor's __set__ method had to of been already called to even get to
this point in the save flow. Because the __set__ method of the descriptor
basically only serves this one function and the function has been
satisfied earlier, I just side step the descriptor by manipulating the
instances __dict__ directly.
Here's the meat of the code: https://github.com/john-parton/django-image-
field-extra-read/blob/bugfix/proposed-fix/test_app/fields.py
Of course, I wouldn't want to make a change like this without some tests.
As I said, I believe the primary purpose of the descriptor use there is
update the string value of the file field, which I have made sure that
it's updated to a non-conflicting value on subsequent saves.
Here's a test case that I wrote which captures some of the spirit of what
I'm trying to do: https://github.com/john-parton/django-image-field-extra-
read/blob/bugfix/proposed-fix/test_app/tests.py
I'm happy to take feedback, or I can work on building a proper patch.
