sorl-thumbnail: random name in Thumbnail field

Question

I want to use str(uuid.uuid4()) instead of the name uploaded.

I have this model:

class foo(models.Model):
   pic  = ThumbnailField(upload_to='pics', size=(200, 200))

I am uploading hello_world.jpg and I should save these named versions should be saved for example in 4ba9b397-da69-4307-9bce-e92887e84d2f.jpg.

How can I do that?

Answer 1

You could handle this in your view:

myfile = request.FILES['file']
foo_model = foo()
foo_model.pic.save("%s.jpg" % str(uuid.uuid4()), myfile, save=True)
