The docs (and an analysis of the code) indicate that the second argument to save should be the content.
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/files/file/#ref-files-file I am assuming this is binary or text content to be written to the file in question. ImageFieldFile calls get_image_dimensions(content) in save, and get_image_dimensions assumes that the input is a file or path that can be open()ed by the file module. The end result is that you cannot call self.imagefield.save() in a model without an error. Does this seem like a bug to anyone else, or am I completely missing something? This should probably be called on the full filename AFTER the save to the ancestor class, so it gets fresh cache info should manipulation occur (http:// code.djangoproject.com/ticket/8208).
