OK my bad I found the answer to my question on the plugin's FAQ, but I think it's important to point it out in your article:
"" "
In the Media Library, the "File name" is wrong!
Yes, this is a WordPress issue. This "File name" doesn't come from the real filename but from a database entry called GUID. This GUID should be unique and is only managed by WordPress. Before, the plugin used to modify this GUID accordingly but recently WordPress tries to prevent the plugins to do so. After some research, it appears that modifying this GUID is a very bad idea after all (please check this URL: http://pods.io/2013/07/17/dont-use-the-guid-field-ever-ever-ever/). Media File Manager will not do anything to the GUID from now. In short, don't think this "File name" as an actual filename, it is not. It is an identifier.
I added an option if you really want to rename that goal really, you should not.
