Filename Changes on Image Meta-Data Save

    So far, I’m really pleased at how this plug-in works.
    But one small thing.

    I’ve noticed the filename will change automatically if the image title is changed. I don’t want to do this everytime with my images.
    Is there a setting to turn this feature off and just rename later if I want?

    You can either LOCK the renaming (you can see that lock icon in the Media Library) or turn off automating renaming in the settings.

    I tried turning off the auto-rename and it’s almost like having plug-in disabled.
    I like being able to click a button and have the the filename changed, I just don’t want it automatically changed just because the title is changed or is different. I don’t always want my media’s filename to be the same as the title.
    Would what I’m looking for be in the Pro version?

    No, it’s part of the free version too. You didn’t find the LOCK / UNLOCK button? It’s a little icon you can see in the Media Library, in the Rename column. If you lock it, then it will not be renamed automatically anymore 🙂

    No, I see what you mean. I’ll give the lock/unlock thing a try and see how that works.
