I know this question has been asked before, but I've never seen a proper answer.
My situation is as follows: In our news application the editors are able to upload photos, and I'd like to change the name of these to a random 10 char md5 hash based on the current timestamp. The reason for this is estetical and to shoot down the possibility of two filenames being the same. Since every image is already associated with a title and description in the database I don't see any reason not to do this. I use Amazon S3 for our backend file storage, and uploading files there is no problem. The photos will be uploaded through the admin interface, so I'd like to do the manipulation in the model and not the view. I've already tried a number of approaches - including overriding the _save_FIELD_file(), from which I later read is deprecated (no wonder it wasn't working ;). I've also managed to upload the file and then save a copy with a different filename, but that feels very unpractical. I'd somehow like to change the filename before it's uploaded. Any help would be greatly appriciated!
