If I submit a file through the admin section, there is no way for me to
clear the file, without going into the DB shell itself or writing code to
remove it. This is not ideal.
Imagine I have a file field that has an optional thumbnail field that will
display the thumbnail if given, or just a standard image if not. Now lets
say my client puts up a thumbnail but later realises (because they are
fools) that the image was not cleared and has to take it down. The only
way to solve this is to upload the default image, which they might not
have. It also takes up unnecessary space on the server.
From a DB perspective, it is the same type as a Charfield, which can be
set to '' through the Admin section, so i see no reason why this isn't the
same for a File/Image Field.
Or am I just being lazy? :-)
