## Beschrijving

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.

### Kenmerken

 * Converts accent characters to non-accent, latin equivalents in Swedish, Danish,
   German, and more.
 * Removes special characters like exclamation marks, periods, hashtags, and more.
 * Lets you choose if you want to convert only image files, or all file types.
 * Makes site and server migrations easier thanks to non-accent character filenames.
 * Provides filter hook for developers who want to specify which file types to convert.

### Examples

 * Räksmörgås.jpg  raksmorgas.jpg
 * Æblegrød_FTW!.gif  aeblegrod-ftw.gif
 * Château de Ferrières.png  chateau-de-ferrieres.png

### Worth noting

The plugin only converts filenames when the files are being uploaded. It can not
convert existing files.

### Filter for developers

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 [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_media_type).

The following example will convert PDF, JPEG and PNG files only:

    ```
    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' );
    ```

I recommend this. When there is diacritics in the file name, this simply substitutes
that for a letter without diacritics. Works very well!

### 󠀁[Perfect for Danish sites 🙂](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/perfect-for-danish-sites/)󠁿

In Denmark, we use the letters æ, ø, and å, which by danish standards, are translated
into ae, oe and aa when necessary. Many plugins similar to Clean Image Filenames,
fails to do that properly. That's no catastrophe, its only media filenames after
all, but you might as well get it right if possible. Futhermore, titles are left
alone – that's a big plus. So the title of a file called "Æblegrød.jpg" stays that
way, while the filename get converted to "aeblegroed.jpg", just as I need it. Lastly,
this plugin, seems to be the only one of its kind, that has been tested with WordPress
5.1 – the others, while still working, seems abandoned. So – a big 5-star thank 
you from me. Bjarne
