Automatically rename files (on edit media)

Actually it is renamed right away if you do it from the Media screens. It doesn’t?

I just noticed that happening. Very nice feature. So nice in fact that I want to pull it out and make it a standalone plugin.

Standalone plugin? Isn’t it standalone already? ??

Yes yes ?? I mean just the automatic renaming bit, thus with no Admin options pages etc.

Not that you need to go look at it… but I’ve stripped down your plugin to the barest of functions needed to achieve all the renaming (of filenames and links) automatically with no admin pages and options.

It all seems to work (sans the infamous GUID/File name issue).

In my particular use case, full and forced renaming according to media title makes the most sense. A simple, light, behind-the-scenes plugin that does this automatically is a gem. Hope you don’t mind my hacking your work apart like that. I left full plugin attribution to you, same licenses, same notes about the original plugin and dual licenses.

Of course, this is very welcome! Also, if you have any recommendations about the original code I am also very interested. Thanks Luke ??
