Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

This plugin will automatically rename any media files you upload to the Media Library, by adding a prefix to the beginning of the filename based on the filetype.

jpg files that you upload. jpg

And since it changes the name of the file, it will also change the “slug” that wordpress uses based on this new name.

You can set an individual/unique prefix for each of the following filetypes:

jpg jpeg png bmp gif tif mp4 avi m4v mov flv mkv 3gp pdf doc docx xls xlsx ppt pptx mp3 ogg wav zip csv txt rtf odt

You will need to go to the settings page and set the prefix you want to use for each of the filetypes.

The default behavior is that it will NOT rename any uploaded files until you have set the prefix on the settings page.
