I'm using flask_uploads within a python virtual environment where Flask-Reuploaded is installed. (I mention this as I've noticed a few versions of flask_uploads and have no idea how these differ)
from flask_uploads import configure_uploads, ALL, UploadSet
all = UploadSet('all', ALL)
configure_uploads(app, all)
then in a flask route
form = MyForm()
if form.validate_on_submit():
filename = form.all.data.filename
fname = all.save(form.all.data)
filename and fname will not always be the same. fname appears to replace any spaces in filename with "_". if duplicate filenames are uploaded, fname appears to append "_01", "_02" etc to the filename uploaded.
just wanted to check I'm interpreting the observed behaviour correctly as I couldn't find the relevant source code.
caveat : while I've checked the installed packages within the virtual env I'm using, I was a bit thrown by pip freeze not showing 'flask_uploads' as an installed package. It's remotely possible my 'import flask_uploads' is pulling flask_uploads from somewhere else (?)
for reference, the virtual environment I'm using
pip freeze

idk if many ppl aren using Flask-Reuploaded, the volume of tutorials, demos and questions seems small. (hopefully I'm wrong)
