That line is executed exactly once, at the time the file is imported. So it is not dynamic in any way. (I seem to be saying that at least every other day here. It's normal Python behaviour, people. Please stop hoping it were otherwise!) > > def save(self): > if not self.user: > self.user = threadlocals.get_current_user() > super(File,self).save() At the moment, there is no easy way to change the base directory for file uploads. You can however, change the filename to include sub-directories, I believe (so change foo.blah to upload/dir/foo.blah). If you want to try and change this, read the source in django/db/models/fields.py and see what you can come up with. It does get a bit hair, though, because of some curried functions.
