 * This plugin (great idea!) was installed on a site that I inherited recently. 
   It is now only partially working – if I replace a file using the “update title
   and replace all links” functionality it now replaces the file and uses the new
   name but DOES NOT update the link. Also the plugin is not showing in the Plugin
   menu in the Dashboard, although I can see it in the plugin folder and the “Replace
   Media” button is still there in the Media Library and attachment edit screens.
   
   I have installed WP Better Attachments to be able to generate lists of attachments
   and see the attachments on the post edit screen. Is there a compatibility issue?
   Does it make a difference whether the file is attached originally through “Add
   Media” or “Add Attachments”? In most cases I can’t use “Add Attachments” because
   I need to generate a link to the attachment page.

 * It shouldn’t matter how you made the attachement, the plugin works by editing
   the database directly. It’s possible that there is a conflict with that plugin,
   I don’t know.
