sorl-thumbnail. This looks like a decent attempt at a generic Django thumbnailing service, but I’m always wary of code that allows URL hackers to create large numbers of files that will be cached to disk. UPDATE: My mistake, thumbnail creation can only be caused by template authors.

URL hacker can not force create new files, only template authors can. Or am I missing something?

Good catch, I've posted an update.
Thanks for the post about my thumbnail templatetag! I have made some recent updates in order to comply with django guidelines on errors and filter + some minor fixes. Please comment on the google code page about feature requests and other design discussions.

One thing I couldn't see - what about cache invalidation? Such that if someone uploads a replacement image the thumbnail will (eventually) update to reflect it.
It may be there and I missed it...
It checks to see if file modification time is newer than thumbnail, if so then it creates a new thumbnail, there is another problem with this however, browser/webserver cache, but that applies to the original image too.
