Hi, I've been looking into this myself, and it seems to me that the Wordpress uploader is something that is very difficult for plugin makers to hook with. To make things more complicated, the whole media workflow was overhauled in WP3.5 that just got out in December.
I'd love to have the functionality of automatically renaming, setting alt and title in bulk, and then tagging my photos with relevant tags (for later custom processing), all in the same window.
So far, this seems impossible short of writing your own plugin. Unfortunately the WP3.5 media model is very complex and has practically no documentation so far.
I've settled on this workflow: Rename the files on my computer using Bulk Rename Utility (just Google it), upload the files to a specific post, then look up the photos by post name and manage them using the "Media Library Assistant" plugin. I'm using custom code to write the alt & title attributes directly on the page.
If you come up with something more practical, I'd love to know as well!
Cheers, Enrique
