To rename the file, you have know its name first, but in the current status, this is not possible anymore (especially in pre_save() signals). Why would you need to rename a file? Can't see how this is useful. Just set the filename before the file is saved by the model then you don't have to rename the file, it would be stored with the correct name. -- Ticket URL: <http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/10788#comment:8> Django <http://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
