Description (last modified by )
As noted by a couple of people on django-users, FilePathField does not automatically refresh choices if files are add to or removed from the path being pointed to (http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/6778fa138b848996 and http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/403d872cf9433905).
A nice addition to FilePathField would be the ability to refresh the path choices on a per-request basis.

I've been able to reproduce this, which I wanted to make sure to do given the age of this ticket. FilePathField's choices remain stale after changing the contents of its specified filepath. Now I'll get to work on this.

Setting as patch needs improvement because I think we need to clarify expectations about the solution, specifically, what "automatically refresh choices" mean.

Unticking the "patch needs improvement" box to indicate this is ready for review again over on GitHub.

After these comment in the PR, I'm re-titling this ticket accordingly to adjust scope and allow for a more pragmatic yet useful solution.
