 * Hello again [@kstockl1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kstockl1/),
    It’s
   not stupid at all.
 * I must explain it better.
    It works like this. Generally when you upload an image
   to wordpress it creates a permalink to it so you are able to access.
 * E.g You have a file My file.jpg and upload it to you wordpress site called thesite.
   com. So wordpress create a permalink thesite.com/my-file to access this image
 * Using my plugin with this permalink option enabled makes this url different. 
   Now this url is the same as the filename structure. For example it could be thesite.
   com/thesite-myfile or thesite.com/201704372627 if you are using the datetime 
   rule.
 * I was able to explain?
