I'm stumped by this issue I'm having with the nesh thumbnail
utilities. I have PIL installed and I've gotten nesh utils working...
except it never saves the thumbnails it's supposed to create (I'm
primarily using the template filter, but I've also tried the
ImageWithThumbnailField). It doesn't return any errors, so by all
appearances it should be working. I've been debugging it fairly
extensively and what seems to be happening is that even though
utils.py imports the settings and deconstructs and reconstructs the
image path with MEDIA_ROOT and MEDIA_URL, the path it tries to save
the image to doesn't include MEDIA_ROOT (and I've seen this occur in
other functions within utils.py too). It should of course and the code
definitely tries to do it with all the os.path.join calls, but I've
modified the code to return "th_path" (which is what's used when
saving the thumbnail) instead of "th_url" (the normal return string)
and it's just the relative path from MEDIA_ROOT. But that should throw
an error anyway if it's trying to save from the server's root
directory and it doesn't, so I don't know what else to try.

Also, I've jumped into the python shell numerous times (both python2.3
and python2.4) and run the core Image commands (open, thumbnail, save)
and it's worked every time. So... what's going on with utils.py and
make_thumbnail, I have no idea. Has anyone else run into this?

Lastly, I read one thread where someone suggested changing utils.py to
"from PIL import Image". I tried that but nothing changed, so I don't
think it's an issue of PIL not being found.
