## Description

Enhances the WordPress media library by allowing you to rename the underlying media
files. Any change to a media item’s title will result in the media filename also
being changed.

See the screenshot for more details of where to rename media files.

Note that all thumbnails will also be renamed. If you are using a caching plugin,
such as WP Super Cache, then you will need to clear your cache so that any references
are updated. This plugin does not update existing direct links to files (links inside
a WordPress gallery will change).

## Screenshots

 1. Download `rename-media.zip`
 2. Unzip
 3. Upload html-purified directory to your `/wp-content/plugins` directory
 4. Go to the plugin management page and enable the plugin
 5. Rename a media item by changing the title from the WordPress media management interface

Renames files to either “jpg” or “1”, so this plugin does not appear to be up to
date.
