This is what we want. Have you tried this out? So far as I can see, ImageField and FileField uploads don't overwrite old files, even if the filename is the same (underscores are appended to the filename). This much should be working already. > Now, if I display a page for the user with all the userpics they ever > uploaded and let them choose between them, how can I set the path in > the ImageField to the file the chose?

You could do something hacky where a view displays the contents of a directory and allows you to manipulate what you find there, but probably what you want is a separate UserPic model, with a M2M relation to your Profile. That way each user can have as many pics as they want, they can be accessible inline from their profile page, and you'll have the convenience of working with a proper django model instance. Put a datetime attribute on each photo, and you can use that to sort and display the most recently uploaded.
