Great and easy to use plugin. Thanks for this.I just wished for one little improvement.The additional prompt, which I can write while in bulk edit, can that be saved? So I do not need to enter it again?Or maybe let us define a user prompt in the Settings -> Media, where we provide our API key. That would be awesome.
