Description: # django-admin-thumbnails
        
        A Django app to assist in adding thumbnails for your model's image fields to admin list views and forms in a reasonably DRY manner.
        
        ## Rationale
        
        When working with models that include `ImageField`s, `FileField`s or when using `ThumbnailerImageField` from `easy_thumbnails`, it can often be desirable to include a thumbnail preview of the field as part of the admin form, fieldset or in list views. Various methods to achieve this exist but all seem to involve a degree of duplication. I've made a few attempts to DRY out such code over the years and this library represents my most recent solution. So, please enjoy!
        
        ## Installation
        
        ```
        $ pip install django-admin-thumbnails
        ```
        
        ## Usage
        
        The app adds fields to your `ModelAdmin` or `*Inline` class; one for each thumbnail you want to display. These are appended to the class's `readonly_fields` tuple (unless you specify otherwise) so they will be displayed at the bottom of your admin form, or you can include them by name in your `fieldsets` or `list_display` definitions.
        
        `django-admin-thumbnails` will handle `ImageField`, `FileField` (so you can use SVG, for example) and (if `easy_thumbnails` is installed) `ThumbnailerImageField`. In the latter case a thumbnail alias will be used, which you can specify in settings.
        
        To create an admin thumbnail field, decorate your `ModelAdmin` or `*Inline` class and optionally specify what to do with the newly created field.
        
        Assuming a model like the following:
        
        ```python
        class Person(models.Model):
            name = models.CharField('Name', max_length=100)
            image = models.ImageField('Image')
            # ...
        ```
        
        In the simplest use-case, to add a thumbnail field to the bottom of the admin form, simply decorate the `ModelAdmin` or `*Inline` class (the order of decorators is important), supplying the name of the field from which the thumbnail will be taken:
        
        ```python
        import admin_thumbnails
        
        @admin.register(models.Person)
        @admin_thumbnails.thumbnail('image')
        class PersonAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
            pass
        ```
        
        This will add a field called `image_thumbnail` (`FOO_thumbnail` where `FOO` is the origin field's name) to your `ModelAdmin` or `*Inline` definition. To override the title given to the new field, pass a second string argument to the decorator:
        
        ```python
        @admin_thumbnails.thumbnail('image', 'Thumbnail')
        ```
        
        To add the thumbnail to the columns shown in the model's list view, add the new field name to `list_display`:
        
        ```python
        @admin.register(models.Person)
        @admin_thumbnails.thumbnail('image')
        class PersonAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
            list_display = ('name', 'image_thumbnail')
        ```
        
        Or include it in your `fieldsets` similarly:
        
        ```python
        @admin.register(models.Person)
        @admin_thumbnails.thumbnail('image')
        class PersonAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
            fieldsets = (
                (None, {
                    'fields': ('name', 'image_thumbnail'),
                }),
            )
        ```
        
        By default the new field will be appended to the `readonly_fields` tuple – if this is undesirable (e.g. if you want to include the thumbnail in the list view but _not_ in the default form fields), pass `append=False` to the decorator:
        
        ```python
        @admin.register(models.Person)
        @admin_thumbnails.thumbnail('image', append=False)
        class PersonAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
            list_display = ('name', 'image_thumbnail')
        ```
        
        This isn't necessary if you're using `fieldsets`, as you can control the inclusion (or omission) and position of the thumbnail field.
        
        If your field contains images that are designed to be shown on a dark background, you can supply `background=True` to the decorator to add one to the thumbnail (via CSS) when displayed:
        
        ```python
        @admin_thumbnails.thumbnail('image', background=True)
        ```
        
        ## Configuration
        
        ### `ADMIN_THUMBNAIL_DEFAULT_LABEL`
        
        **Default:** `'Preview'`
        
        Setting this overrides the default column name / title used by thumbnails.
        
        ### `ADMIN_THUMBNAIL_FIELD_SUFFIX`
        
        **Default:** `'_thumbnail'`
        
        Setting this overrides the suffix given to newly created thumbnail fields. Change if you have collision issues with other field names you want to use. Don't forget to update `list_display` and/or `fieldsets` in your `ModelAdmin` as necessary.
        
        ### `ADMIN_THUMBNAIL_THUMBNAIL_ALIAS`
        
        **Default:** `'admin_thumbnail'`
        
        If `easy_thumbnails` is installed and available, any model field using `ThumbnailerImageField` will be resized using a thumbnail alias called `admin_thumbnail` if it's defined. You can either define this alias in your settings (more info from the `easy_thumbnails` documentation [here](https://easy-thumbnails.readthedocs.io/en/stable/usage/#thumbnail-aliases)) or supply a different alias name as the value of this setting.
        
        ### `ADMIN_THUMBNAIL_STYLE`
        
        **Default:** `{'display': 'block', 'width': '100px', 'height': 'auto'}`
        
        A dictionary of CSS property/value pairs that will be added to the `style` attribute of any thumbnail image when output in the admin. Override to supply your own styles.
        
        ### `ADMIN_THUMBNAIL_BACKGROUND_STYLE`
        
        **Default:** `{'background': '#000'}`
        
        A dictionary of CSS property/value pairs added when the `background=True` option is used (see **Usage** above). Override to supply your own styles. Note that these styles are used _in addition_ to any defined in `ADMIN_THUMBNAIL_STYLE`.
        
        ## Development Installation
        
        If working locally on the package you can install the development tools via `pip`:
        
        ```shell
        $ pip install -e .[dev]
        ```
        
        To lint with `flake8`:
