Hi Nathan, I think you'll probably need to use a custom field type -- it's pretty much built in to FileField and ImageField that the user-supplied filename is the name to save the file under on disk. What I've done, solve a problem like this, is to subclass ImageField, and override the save_file method to change the filename in the incoming data on file upload. Check out http://www.verdjn.com/wiki/PhotoField -- we use the field name, and the object's primary key to make up the filename before it gets saved. > also in the > case of an image I would like to generate some thumbnails and save them > to different directories.

Incidentally, our PhotoField class also supports thumbnail generation, although we generate them dynamically, rather than saving them at upload time.
