Re: managing files, deleting file from file system with admin site

I tried to override delete() method of Car model and it works when i delete single object using admin site.

But it doesnt work with deleting many objects at once.

So i ended up with this:

def post_delete_image_deleting(sender, instance, **kwargs):

    storage, path = instance.photo.storage, instance.photo.path

    storage.delete(path)

def pre_save_image_deleting(sender, instance, **kwargs):

    try:

        old_instance = Car.objects.get(pk = instance.pk)

    except:

        pass

    else:

        if instance.photo != old_instance.photo:

            storage = old_instance.photo.storage

            path = old_instance.photo.path

            storage.delete(path)

post_delete.connect(post_delete_image_deleting, sender=Car)

pre_save.connect(pre_save_image_deleting, sender=Car)

It works for me.
