Just realized a possible issue. It's simple enough to rename the strings that will become the database contents form 'no_table.[whatever]' to 'table_name.[whatever]' (i.e. doing a replace() on the appropriate form.vars), but if your upload field definitions have uploadseparate = True, will this thwart the appropriate renaming of files through os.rename()* by making the file locations unpredictable when you have a large enough number of files? To remedy this, is it possible to specify what the name of the file should be before it is stored?
