I don't have a definitive answer at this point, no. Everybody who wants some form of flexible file naming has a different need, and it's tough to come up with something that pleases everyone, while still being a fairly concise API. I've been giving it some thought, and I'll make sure to bring it up during the sprint, but I don't know what will come of it.
I'm hoping to get the rest of my FileField changes in this weekend, and while I'd like to solve this problem along with it, it's not a showstopper in terms of getting the rest of it in. So the short story is, I'll do what I can, but as always, if you have some code that does what you'd like, it'll go a long way toward figuring out how best to handle it. -Gul On 11/30/07, Chris Hoeppner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I guess you don't have a hint for me to get this working?
