django-file-resubmit

In Django project you have forms with FileField, ImageField. Everything works great, but when ValidationError is raised, you have to reselect all files and images again. It is kind of annoying. django-file-resubmit solves this problem. It works with FileField, ImageField and sorl.thumbnail.ImageField.

How does it work?

Here are special widgets for FileField and ImageField. When you submit files, every widget saves its file in cache. And when ValidationError is raised, widgets restore files from cache.

Compatible with sorl-thumbnails

It is compatible with sorl-thumbnail.
