Hi,

I've written a custom Storage that uses WebDAV as its underlying
engine.  When I save a file '/foo/bar/file.ext', I want it to be saved
under /foo/bar in the webdav filesystem.  However, it seems that
FileField overrides the directory structure:

    def generate_filename(self, instance, filename):
        return os.path.join(self.get_directory_name(),
self.get_filename(filename))

where get_directory_name() is defined as

    def get_directory_name(self):
        return
os.path.normpath(force_unicode(datetime.datetime.now().strftime(smart_str(self.upload_to))))

I'm not really sure why FileField finds it appropriate to impose its
own directory structure on the underlying storage engine.  But short
of creating a custom subclass of FileField and overriding
generate_filename and/or get_directory_name(), is there a different
way of preserving the original file location path?


Thanks
Dmitry
