    21 - **Bulk Updater:** Updates existing images, always setting Titles (if enabled) and updating blank Alt Text/Captions.
     17Transform filenames like "flower-in-garden-1.jpg" into descriptive attributes like "Flower In Garden" with customizable cleaning options. Whether you’re a blogger, e-commerce owner, or developer, Autobute streamlines your workflow and boosts your site’s performance in Google image search.

    23 By default, Autobute sets Title, Alt Text, and Caption for new uploads, with the option to enable Description. It cleans filenames by replacing hyphens with spaces, removing trailing numbers (e.g., "-1"), and capitalizing words for readability (e.g., "flower-in-garden-1.jpg" becomes "Flower In Garden"). The Bulk Updater applies these settings to existing images, updating all Titles (if enabled) and blank Alt Text/Captions, with a test option that provides a link to the image’s admin edit page for verification.
