pil bug?

[John Smith]

Hello, I don't know if this is a bug or not, but when you convert an image
from one mode to another, the object's filename gets lost in the conversion
process.

for example:
[color=blue][color=green]
>>import Image
>>im = Image.open('som eRGB.bmp')
>>im.filename[/color][/color]
'someRGB.bmp'[color=blue][color=green]
>>im = im.convert('L')
>>im.filename[/color][/color]

error: no attribute called filename

is this a bug?

The simple solution is to assign a new attribute called filename to the
newly converted object, but it seems like filenames should probably be
kept??

opinions? suggestions?

thanks in advance

the filename attribute is only valid for image objects that are
created from files.
