Hi there In an app we are coding, we are allowing users to upload image files - in django's admin nonetheless.
we want to set a max file size (e.g. 400 kb) so we can keep our servers happy (those file will be processed by PIL). The idea is to avoid an uneducated user uploading his 10 mb digital camera files and giving the server a hard time. My question is, where would be the best place to check for the file size? Looking at this some what related thread, it seems that _pre_save() should do it: http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/85715b106146ebc0/c852373a4d774984?q=filefield++&rnum=5#c852373a4d774984 if I do it in _pre_save() will this only get called AFTER the file has been uploaded? if so, is there a way to check for this BEFORE the file is uploaded? are more people interested / needing this? would it make any sense to add an optional maxsize parameter to the FileField object? thanks lot, arthur
