<p>This plugin allows you to duplicate images you have in the media library and attach them to a new post, rather than having to create a new copy of the image and upload it to WordPress again.</p>
<p>It works by copying the post and its metadata. It does not actually copy the image. Any changes you make to the new copy of the attachment — updating the caption or cropping, for example, will only be applied to the new attachment, not to the original.</p>
<p>This is useful if you query posts for its attachments to display photos, or if you make use of galleries and have old images you might want to include, among other things.</p>
<p>To use, go to the Library tab in a post. You should see an ‘Attach’ link.</p>

<p>This plugin automatically converts language accent characters in filenames when uploading to the media library. Characters are converted into browser and server friendly, non-accent characters.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Converts accent characters to non-accent, latin equivalents in Swedish, Danish, German, and more.</li>
<li>Removes special characters like exclamation marks, periods, hashtags, and more.</li>
<li>Lets you choose if you want to convert only image files, or all file types.</li>
<li>Makes site and server migrations easier thanks to non-accent character filenames.</li>
<li>Provides filter hook for developers who want to specify which file types to convert.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Examples</h3>
<ul>
<li>Räksmörgås.jpg <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> raksmorgas.jpg</li>
<li>Æblegrød_FTW!.gif <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> aeblegrod-ftw.gif</li>
<li>Château de Ferrières.png <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> chateau-de-ferrieres.png</li>
</ul>
<h3>Worth noting</h3>
<p>The plugin only converts filenames when the files are being uploaded. It can not convert existing files.</p>
<h3>Filter for developers</h3>
<p>This filter provides developers a way to specify which file types the plugin should convert. This filter overrides the plugin settings on the media settings page. For a complete list of mime types, see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_media_type" rel="nofollow ugc">Wikipedia</a>.</p>
<p>The following example will convert PDF, JPEG and PNG files only:</p>
<pre><code>function my_clean_image_filenames_mime_types() {
    $mime_types = array(
        'application/pdf',
        'image/jpeg',
        'image/png',
    );
    return $mime_types;
}
add_filter( 'clean_image_filenames_mime_types', 'my_clean_image_filenames_mime_types' );
</code></pre>
