~~The URL of the image is of course available, but cannot be changed within WordPress. The~~ Phoenix Media Rename is a simple Plugin that allows for this and it even automatically replaces spaces with dashes ( - ).

Media Library Assistant adds some fields to what can be associated with a Media File. ~~Plus~~ it ~~also~~

Media Library Assistant (Not very useful): adds some (obscure) fields to what can be associated with a Media File, Parent Info, Menu Order, Attachment Metabase (read only), and an alternate list view, Allows for additional Categories to be created
