 * Love this plugin! I use it for most of my WP sites.
    This plugin should have 
   been a part of WP CORE!!!

 * Really? To what is it renamed then?
 * > rename it to the post title it is attached to
 * This could be an option, I am thinking in adding it… the problem is if you have
   many photos then I would need to add a counter at the end of the filename and
   this is messy, I prefer not to assign “randomly” a number (if you delete one 
   photo, then there is a hole, that might be filled up by another photo with the
   same title but from something else for example)

 * 1) Its not renamed at all – thats my point hehe…
 * Oh, sure, i thought maybe if 1) didnt work, that this is what the plugin was 
   doing..
    Ah i see.. Well, if i come up with a idea on this i will be happy to
   share it with you…
 * Thanks for this plugin!

 * Did you try to change the title? If you don’t change it, the title is actually…
   already renamed 🙂

 * I too thought the purpose of the plugin was to rename the media files according
   to the posts they are attached to for better SEO. If not, what’s it for? I saw
   some people saying it’s a godsend for people with a huge media library and people
   saying that you just need to change the titles and it will rename the files (
   or vice-versa, I didn’t get it). Either way… I’m confused. Not sure what the 
   difficulty with numbering is either; plenty a bulk file renamer on the desktop
   does that.

 * andrelevy > It’s normally more useful, especially for SEO, when the filename 
   depends on the Title of the media. In my case, photos contain EXIT and the title
   of the media automatically gets the title I set in LR (thanks to WP). My plugin
   then give it a nice filename instead of the boring DSC**** files by example. 
   But that gives the power to the users to also change this title to anything they
   want. Each media will have its own name and that can be changed anytime.
 * Rename from the post title is not especially good for SEO since all the files
   will have the same name. Repeating content/filename was working for SEO only 
   10 years ago but now it’s about content and quality. The filenames should be 
   cleverly chosen and all different.
 * About the numbering, it is not as simple. Imagine you delete a file, the boat-
   7.jpg in your post. Then there will be a “hole” in the counting. If you add another
   file, should it come boat-7? And if you forgot to delete references to this file
   then it will be replaced with a “random” new one. Imagine that in many automated
   process when content is created automatically, files are deleted/uploaded automatically,
   etc… If you had encountered as many cases as I did, you will see many dangers,
   and many users will come here and cry that it destroyed they website. Unfortunately,
   it’s like that…
 * That said, I will add this option in the PRO version. PRO users usually contact
   me when there is a problem to resolve it (FREE users just come here and cry out
   loud :p). I add advanced and potentially support-needy features in that version.

 * Hi I am new to word press and i have imported my site from wix. I have lots of
   horrible image titles. I have the free version and wanted to have a look at the
   pro version and see how it stacks up. School boy question how much is the pro
   version and where do i find it? Any advise gratefully received.
 * Thanks
 * Danny
