When creating sprites from files that contain digits in the file name, all digits are removed. This is incorrect as CSS class names can have numbers (but can't start with one!)

Hi. I just found this project and decided to check it out. Is it intended to create two copies of the bundled files when using versioning? I.E. css_bundle_name.a6cb96e3f3795fbb06dd43c7f469ac7a94b56a86.css and css_bundle_name.css are generated...

Here are the settings I have:

media_bundler settings

USE_BUNDLES = True
DEFER_JAVASCRIPT = False
BUNDLE_VERSION_FILE = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(file), 'bundle_versions.py').replace('','/')

MEDIA_BUNDLES = (
{"type": "css",
"name": "css_bundle_name",
"path": MEDIA_ROOT + "/css/",
"url": MEDIA_URL + "static/css/",
"minify": True, # If you want to minify your source.
"files": (
"superfish/superfish.css",
"superfish/superfish-navbar.css",
"superfish/superfish-vertical.css",
)},
{"type": "javascript",
"name": "js_bundle_name",
"path": MEDIA_ROOT + "/js/",
"url": MEDIA_URL + "static/js/",
"minify": True, # If you want to minify your source.
"files": (
"jquery/jquery-1.4.1.js",
"jquery/plugins/jquery.bgiframe.js",
"jquery/plugins/jquery.clearfield.js",
)},
)

It would be nice to generate source maps when it does the bundling.

Is this project dead? Has someone else picked it up?

Is it possible to store the bundled files in a sub directory?

To use django apps as distutils dependencies is the “good thing to do”, so it would be nice if django-media-bundler was registered up at PyPI and could be installed using the regular tools.

Just wanted to provide some feedback regarding going through the short tutorial in the README.

• I started a new Django project, and DEBUG = True. Since deferred is on by default, it took me a while to figure out why I wasn't seeing anything.
• I finally got the deferred content to show, so I turned DEBUG = False to watch it bundle. It 404'ed because I did not run bundle_media. It would be nice to be reminded of this at the end of the README.

Some ideas:

• Include an examples Django project that is all setup in the repo. I really just wanted to see the thing work and it wasn't necessary to create everything from scratch to do this.

Otherwise, great project. Your PNG sprite stuff is the best I've seen.

A timestamp should be added to the generated filename or a query parameter to the URL to force the browser to refetch the bundle if it updates. I kind of like only having one file around and just diffing against it when the bundle is generated, so I’m leaning towards the query parameter. It’s still annoying because we have to track the version, and I’m not sure how to do that easily.
