Document correct make_unused_managed_files_temporary setting when using this module

Problem/Motivation

I'd like to try this module, but I'm unsure how it to configure the Drupal core make_unused_managed_files_temporary configuration setting documented here. →

Should I set it to false to turn off the core automated deletion process, or does this module work in conjunction with the core process, and so I should set it to true?

Sorry for the late reply! You have to keep the default settings from Drupal:

A new make_unused_managed_files_temporary setting exists in file.settings which is set to false by default, for both existing and new sites.

Otherwise you may be hit by the unexpected deletion of files. This modules takes over the responsibility to mark files as temporary when they are no longer used by a media entity.
