You shouldn't need to code or name anything. When you save the form, the file should be saved into the named upload directory. > Problems I have are threefold: > 1.

It's arguable whether it is a good idea at all. It certainly isn't a form issue - it's a model issue. The difficulty with changing the location is determining where to look for the file later. Your best bet would be to subclass models.FileField to provide an alternate implementation for get_directory_name(). > 2.

You need to call x.delete_input_file_file() (where x is an instance of ToolRun) > 3.

See previous comments on subclassing models.FileField > This has no effect on where the uploaded files are stored. I No. There isn't any magic connecting the stored name of the file and the file itself. If you change the stored name of the file, the actual file won't be moved. > def save_input_file_file(filename, raw_contents): > # save it in the correct subdir > .... > > According to the debugger, this function is never called. No, it won't be. Your provided definition will be overwritten by the version of the method installed by the model metaclass.
