How to override the admin save method?

[iain duncan]

I got some previous advice on overriding how the admin does delete which
was pretty straightforward as it does just uses a url. The Save button
doesn't seem to work that way.

I would like to save a file name not as it is given, but in an altered
format based on another field, so before the file gets uploaded I need
to save it's name. Any tips on how to approach that?

Thanks
Iain

  Override the "save" method.

  I use nesh's ImageWithThumbnailField() which does this file rename
on save, you might want to check its source code for tips.
