I don't believe you can, although it should be possible to extend upload to provide that information. However, is there no header you can use in your filetype to detect it? -- James Taylor, Assistant Professor, Biology/CS, Emory University On Mon, Feb 11, 2013 at 10:51 PM, David Angot <davida@intersect.org.au> wrote:
Hi,
We are using a proprietary file format in some of our tools. I successfully added a new data type, but what I would like to do is to use the auto-detect when uploading the file, just based on the extension of the file.
My guess is I have to override the sniff() in the datatype class, and test for the extension ? Somethinkg like that :
if file.endswith('.extension123'): ...
But how do I get the original filename when it was uploaded ?
Thanks,
-- David
