Save original file name about django-s3direct HOT 4 CLOSED

The function get_upload_params under s3direct/views.py has a variable called filename. You should be able to add standard Django DB Querysets into the function that will add the filename variable's value into the database with each upload.

Although it's not possible to save the old name (without doing what @blah73 suggested) as a compromise you could pass a function to the "path" attribute rather than an actual path that generates a unique ID and appends it to the original file name. Take a look in the example app for passing a function to the path attribute.

That's exactly how I addressed the issue. Thanks for the confirmation that
I'm on the right track.

I don't know if this was resolved, but I solved it by storing a json-ized dict in the base TextField. The dict currently contains the destination file URL as before, and also the original filename.

Pl consider merging if this is a good way to accomplish this.
