    Hello guys, David.
    First: thanks for this awesome piece of code and support. I can’t see why You stopped accepting donations ??

    I just finished a hard day fixing a site’s media and I worked a lot with “Phoenix Media Rename”. Too bad it’s rename box doesn’t appear in MLA.
    I used MLA fore creating Attachements Categories and applying them to the media, then used “Enhanced Media Library” to filter them in the Media Library (yes it’s compatible with MLA and viceversa!) and to rename and retitle them with Phoenix MR, and then back to MLA to hand craft some tweakings to the Titles.
    A bit convoluted, took some time to find the way, but in the end it makes possible the impossible.

    I just asked Phoenix Media Rename if he could provide some integration (seems not hard)

    What do you think? Could you hand him some help? I would! But I’m drowning with work right now ??
    No really. I would.
    Thank you

    Thanks for your positive feedback and for your question. MLA donations were directed to our fair trade nonprofit organization. When we had to shut down the nonprofit, I decided that the small number and amounts of donations I’d received were not worth the trouble of setting up a system to continue processing them.

    Regarding Phoenix Media Rename, I downloaded and activated a copy on my test system. It looks like your request is to add the “Filename” column to the Media/Assistant submenu table; is that right? If so, I can investigate the amount of work required to do that. As you suspected, MLA provides several hooks that should help, but Phoenix Media Rename also adds some JavaScript code to process the name changes.

    I will post an update here when I have progress to report. Let me know if there are other requirements I have missed. Thanks for your interest in MLA.

    Yes! But take it as a suggestion, not a request ??

    Thank you very much for listening

    Thanks for confirming my understanding and for your flexibility in awaiting progress. I have developed a solution for your request as a new “example plugin” you can use to add support for the “Filename” column to your site.

    I have uploaded a new MLA Development Version dated 20190816 that contains the new example plugin. You can find step-by-step instructions for using the Development Version in this earlier topic:

    PHP Warning on media upload with Polylang

    Once the Development Version is installed you must install and activate the example plugin. Navigate to the Settings/Media library Assistant Documentation tab and click the “Example Plugins” button. Type “phoenix” in the text box and click “Search Plugins” to filter the table.

    You are looking for the “MLA Phoenix Media Rename Example” plugin. Find that plugin and hover over the title in the left-most column. Click the “Install” (or “Update”) rollover action, then go to the WordPress Plugins/Installed Plugins submenu and verify or activate the example plugin as you would any other plugin.

    It would be great if you can install the Development Version and the new example plugin and let me know if they work for you. Thanks again for giving me an interesting opportunity to enhance MLA.

    I have released MLA version 2.80, which includes the updates required for this topic.

    I am leaving the topic resolved, but please update it if you are still having trouble after updating to the newest MLA version. Thank you.
