StdImageField: Improved image field for Django

I'm pleased to announce a new project, django-stdimage, that provides a new image field with many improvements respect to Django's core ImageField.

Features of StdImageField:

• Saved files have standardized names (using field name and object id)


• Images can be removed


• Automatically creates a thumbnail


• Automatically resizes both image and thumbnail (with optional crop to fit exactly specified size)

Here you've an example of usage:


from django.db import models
from stdimage import StdImageField

class MyClass(models.Model):
  my_image = StdImageField(upload_to='path/to/img', blank=True, \
    size=(640, 480), thumbnail_size=(100, 100, True))

If a file called "uploaded_file.png" is uploaded for object id 34, then result will be:

• /path/to/img/my_image_34.png (with bigger possible size to fit in a 640x480 area)


• /path/to/img/my_image_34.thumbnail.png (with a exact size of 100x100, cropping if necessary)

Also it will appear a check-box for deleting when using admin.
