Hi Tim,
Thanks for the response.
My Test model:
class Test(models.Model):
text = models.CharField(max_length=50)
image = models.ImageField(upload_to="upload/test_images/",
blank=True, null=True)
#also tried with FileField
def __unicode__(self):
return self.text
class TestAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
save_as = True
admin.site.register(Test, TestAdmin)

The path on the saved as new file does not get saved, it doesn't even
appear in request.POST: image="", and request.FILES is empty. If I
remove blank=True from the definition, admin ask for the field to be
filled out.
If I submit a different file on the save as new, the new files gets
saved no problems.
I hope thats clear :-)
Regard,
Pawel.
