Potential fix for a problem

Hi, we saw that you're hosting a new version of django-file-resubmit.

Starting with django 4.2, an old ticket was fixed, and it broke a feature of django-file-resubmit (the "keep the file in the field" one).

We went in a rabbit hole with a coworker, and found that you need to undo the fix in order to fix the feature:

class FixedClearableFileInput(forms.FileField):
    def bound_data(self, data, initial):
        return data

# ...

class OurSuperForm(SomeOtherForm):
    logo = FixedClearableFileInput()

See more info on the issue of django-file-resubmit.

Thank you so much for the update! We aren't on 4.x yet, but this is going to be invaluable when we are

Hi, no problem :)
The fix should be backwards compatible (since it only affects a change made in 4.2 by reverting it like it was in versions 2 or 3 of Django), so you could implement it right now :)

And thank you for bookwyrm, it's an incredible part of the federated web :)
