I've gone through the documentation a ton, been trying different
techniques, and I know I'm just missing something obvious.
I have a model like this:
class MyModel(Model):
file1 = FileField(...)
So I can do this:
model = MyModel.objects.get(id=1)
print mode.file1.name
But I want to rename the file on the filesystem. I want something
like this:
model.file1.rename(new_filename)
But that doesn't exist. The closest I can find is somethig like this:
contents = model.file1.read()
model.file1.delete()
model.file1.save(new_filename, contents)
But this gives an exception since the FileField save() method requires
a "contents" parameter that has a ".chunks()" method. Right now it's
just a string.
I can't use a python tempfile.TemporaryFile() object, since that then
gives the exception "Unable to determine the file's size".
All of this seems like I'm jumping through hoops that don't make
sense. How do I just rename the file? Is there an easier way?
Thanks so much!
