 * Quick question. I am guessing once you name a folder, you can’t just go ahead
   and rename it. Correct? Thanks!

 * Note this issue is mentioned in on the plugin’s Support page on your site in 
   the Troubleshooting Tips tab. Users may not realize that renaming a folder would
   break links to files that are embedded in post and pages. The proper way to rename
   a folder is to create a new folder with the new name and move the files to the
   new folder. During the move process, links embedded in standard WordPress posts
   and pages will be updated. We do encourage new users to do a test move before
   moving lots of images in case their theme stores embedded links in a non standard
   format.
