<p>WordPress upload file names can be quite predictable sometimes, especially if uploading from the same camera – DKIM1004 comes after DKIM1003. If not all of the content on your site is public, this can be a problem as people can snoop on your media folder by guessing file names.</p>
<p>This plugin prepends a short 8 character hash to the beginning of every uploaded file. For example, DKIM1004.jpg turns into 8df8078e-DKIM1004.jpg. The hash is not cryptographically secure and just makes it a bit more difficult to guess file names.</p>
<p>The plugin works on all upload file types and all sizes of a given image get the same prefix.</p>

<p>This plugin allows you to sanitize files on upload, which is pretty handy. It means all punctuation and accents from the filename of uploaded files will be removed.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>All accented letters will be converted to same letters without accent</li>
<li>Special characters will be deleted</li>
<li>Underscores will be replaced by hyphens</li>
</ul>
<h3>Warning For Mac Owners</h3>
<p>On MAC, you can also create an accented character with the combination of ` and the wanted letter. This has the effect to create a character with a special filename system encoding format which is not sanitized. An <a href="https://github.com/BeAPI/bea-sanitize-filename/issues/1" rel="nofollow ugc">issue</a> is already open about this.</p>
