making a backwards-incompatible change in comment:4 (again, maybe I mis
understood the ramifications of his proposal).
I see...
> Anyway, I don't mind looking a patch that might make the use case
easier. In the interim, it looks like [https://github.com/un1t/django-
cleanup django-cleanup] might fit your needs.
That doesn't fit my needs unfortunately, because my use case warrants the
preservation of the original end-user specified file name, i.e. the
current file name mangling (to avoid overwrite) is undesirable.
Sorry, I forgot to mention this directly, even though I repeatedly said
that the current implementation does not ensure the client-dev has total
control over the final path/key.
So I guess for me it's two problems:
* Not having total control over the storage path/key
* Not being able to overwrite files
...where the latter is caused by the former.
I have a workaround (albeit I'm still finishing it off), which will also
take into account the fact that there is no `post_save()` method on model
`Field` sub-classes (meaning that files get saved into storage potentially
before a database save is about to fail; another undesirable trait of the
current implementation, to me), but it does not take into consideration
backwards compatibility (otherwise I would have submitted a patch as well
as the ticket).
