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.
Well, not necessarily renaming a file, in fact it's just accessing it. We
don't have the path to access it. Just look at the example in the original
django dev thread (http://groups.google.com/group/django-
developers/browse_thread/thread/ce20f196f5e85296 ).
As a real use-case (simple) example which is often used, for an uploaded
image (put in an ImageField), generate a thumbnail for it, using the
pre_save() signal.
