------------------------------------------------+------------------------
Currently Django has two hardcoded file storage backends, "default" (for
media files) and "static" (for static files). Idioms for configuring file
storage backends in pluggable apps are cumbersome.
It would be nice to be able to configure arbitrary file storage backends,
like caches and databases e.g.:
{{{
FILE_STORAGES = {
'media': {
'BACKEND': settings.DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE,
'OPTIONS': {
'location': settings.MEDIA_ROOT,
'base_url': settings.MEDIA_URL,
# possible override of settings.FILE_CHARSET
},
},
'static': {
'BACKEND': settings.STATICFILES_STORAGE,
'OPTIONS': {
'location': settings.STATIC_ROOT,
'base_url': settings.STATIC_URL,
# replacement for STATICFILES_FINDERS and STATICFILES_DIRS
that would look a lot like template loaders
# possible override of settings.FILE_CHARSET
},
}
}}}
This was discussed on django-developers: https://groups.google.com/d/msg

There were some concerns about introducing another large dict in settings.
The general ideas was uncontroversial.
