Problem/Motivation

Thx for the great work!

I can't understand the difference between the described features Retroactive updates versus Active updating, especially what the term 'active' here means.

  • Retroactive updates - rename and/or move previously uploaded files.
  • Active updating - actively rename and/or move previously uploaded files.

Proposed resolution

Thank you in advance for a clarification and for eventual updating of the features description on the project page.

    Although this is an old post, I came across it having the same question. Since I couldn't find the answer, I did a trial with both options. "Retroactive" will run through all the nodes and update the paths right after saving the content type. "Active updating" will only update the path when the node is saved. So use retroactive if you want to update all paths immediately. Otherwise use "Active updating" for a more manual process where you have to update/save each node.
