saved_file signal only fired in Django admin

[vinta]

in models.py

from django.db import models

from easy_thumbnails.fields import ThumbnailerImageField
from easy_thumbnails.signals import saved_file

class Album(models.Model):
    artist = models.ForeignKey(Artist, related_name='albums')
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    cover = ThumbnailerImageField(upload_to='album/%Y/%m/%d')

    class Meta:
        ordering = ('-id',)

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.name


@receiver(saved_file)
def post_save_cover(sender, fieldfile, **kwargs):
    print('saved_file')

in views.py

import os

from django.core.files import File

a1 = Album.objects.get(id=1)
file_path = '/home/gibuloto/test.jpg'
file_name = os.path.basename(file_path)
a1.cover.save(file_name, File(open(file_name, 'rb')))

This saved_file only fired when I save a image to cover field in Django admin.

I use version 1.1

I'm not following the problem. What is an example of behavior that is not working as expected?

[vinta]

After the line a1.cover.save(file_name, File(open(file_name, 'rb'))), the saved_file signal should be fired, right?
But it didn't.

Or I did something wrong?

Ah - the saved_file signal fires when an uncommitted file is attached to the model and it is then the model is saved. If you're directly modifying the underlying file with save (which commits the file before saving the model), you'll need to fire the signal yourself.
