Le plugin permet de s’éviter de trop réfléchir au SEO des médias téléversés. Mais
il faut quand même avoir réfléchi au nom de l’image avant le téléversement, c’est
mieux. Dommage qu’on ne puisse pas changer le nom du fichier en cours de route, 
même si c’est compréhensible pour éviter les liens cassés.

Le plugin joue entièrement son rôle. Il est très facile de renommer ses fichiers.
Il ne faut pas oublier que c’est automatique, et donc que ça se fait pour tous les
fichiers… Si on veut éviter de renommer un fichier en particulier, il faut penser
à désactiver le renommage avant, mais ça se fait en un clic. Merci !
