 * Hello 
   I installed the plugin in order to be able to bulk edit media metadata.
   However, when I select multiple images and go to the normal bulk edit menu, I
   don’t see any other options than ‘delete’. I also don’t see a special bulk edit
   menu for this plugin. What am I doing wrong?Br, Donleavy

 * Thanks for your question. I believe you are looking for MLA’s bulk edit feature
   on the wrong admin screen. If you are accessing the WordPress Media/Library screen
   you will find a Bulk actions menu with only the Delete option.
 * MLA provides a more versatile Media/**Assistant **screen located by default at
   the bottom of the Media submenus. If you access MLA’s Assistant screen you will
   find an expanded Bulk actions menu with additional options: Edit, Download, Download
   Original and Thumbnail. If you select the Edit action you will be on your way.
 * I want to make sure you understand what MLA’s Bulk Edit feature provides. It 
   allows you to edit many of the standard fields WordPress stores in database tables,
   taxonomy terms and custom field values. It does **not**, however, allow you to
   modify the IPTC/EXIF/XMP metadata values that are embedded in the files associated
   with Media Library items. MLA allows you to extract the metadata values from 
   the files and add them to the WordPress database, but there are no MLA features
   that modify the files themselves.
 * I hope that gets you started on a solution for your application. I am marking
   this topic resolved, but please update it if you have problems or further questions
   about the above suggestions. Thanks for your interest in the plugin.
