PlugNest Media Folders

Änderungsprotokoll

3.0.0

Mega update — everything new since 2.5.5, in one release:
* New: duplicate file detection. Content hashes are built in batches and files with identical content are grouped in a „Find duplicates“ report with thumbnails, sizes, dates and usage badges. Read-only — one-click cleanup is part of Pro.
* New: saved views (smart filters). Save any combination of folder, tags, type, usage status and search as a named one-click view. Per-user, respects folder access roles.
* New: folder quick-jump — sidebar search box (or Ctrl/Cmd+K) to find and jump straight to a folder.
* New: keyboard shortcuts — Ctrl/Cmd+A selects all matching media, Delete permanently deletes the selection (with confirmation), Esc closes the top dialog or clears the selection.
* New: Shift+click range selection in the grid.
* New: per-folder default sort — pin the current sort to any folder from the toolbar; the folder then always opens with that order (click the pin again to remove it).
* New: folder stats panel — per-folder media counts, type breakdown (images / videos / audio / docs) and disk usage, sortable by size.
* New: EXIF auto-fill — on upload, empty titles and descriptions are filled from the image’s EXIF description (never overwrites existing content).
* New: WP-CLI commands — wp pnmf stats, wp pnmf hash-build, wp pnmf dupe-scan, wp pnmf usage-scan for maintenance from the command line.
* Improved: usage scan now understands offloaded / CDN media — generic /uploads/ paths (e.g. Bedrock-style /app/uploads/) are recognized, and any external URL’s file name is matched as a last-resort „in use“ hint, so offloaded media is never falsely reported as unused.
* New: duplicate cleanup is now selection-based — tick exactly which copies to delete in the „Find duplicates“ report. One copy per group is always kept, even if you tick them all.
* Improved: duplicate cleanup runs in small batches with a progress bar, so a library with hundreds of duplicate groups no longer stalls on one long request.
* New: AI settings (provider, API key, model, language) moved to Settings → PlugNest Media Folders Pro, with an „AI settings“ shortcut on the media screen. Previously the only way in was a small link inside the „Missing alt“ dialog.
* New: „Feature guide“ — opening the media screen now shows a one-minute tour of the 3.0.0 / 2.0.0 additions and where each control sits (dismissible; reopen from the „Feature guide“ button). The full table also lives on the Pro settings page.

2.8.0

• New: keyboard shortcuts — Ctrl/Cmd+A selects all matching media, Delete permanently deletes the selection (with the existing confirmation), Esc closes the top dialog or clears the selection, Ctrl/Cmd+K jumps to the folder search.
• New: Shift+click range selection — click one card, then Shift+click another to select everything in between.
• New: folder quick-jump — type in the sidebar search box (or press Ctrl/Cmd+K) to find and jump straight to a folder.

2.7.0

• New: saved views (smart filters). Set any combination of folder, tags, type, usage status and search, then save it as a named one-click view from the toolbar. Views are per-user, respect folder access roles, and can be updated (same name) or deleted. Limit 50 per user.

2.6.0

• New: duplicate file detection. Every media file’s content hash is built in batches and files with identical content are grouped in a new „Find duplicates“ report — with thumbnails, file size, dates and usage badges. The report is read-only: nothing is ever deleted by the free version. One-click cleanup (keep the largest or newest copy per group; copies in use are skipped by default) is part of Pro.

2.5.5

• Fixed: dragging a media card onto a folder in the left tree could be misdetected as an external file drop (the browser attaches a virtual file when a thumbnail image starts the drag), leaving the drop with no effect — most visible when moving unassigned media out of the „Unassigned“ view. Internal drags now carry a dedicated application/x-pnmf-media dataTransfer type that survives the whole drag, thumbnails no longer start their own image drag (draggable="false" + -webkit-user-drag: none), and the drop handler recovers the media IDs from the drag payload when the in-memory drag state is missing.

2.5.4

• Performance: the admin dashboard no longer recomputes its full statistics on every read within a request, and folder media counts are computed once per request instead of once per call. Numbers stay live — the cache lives only for the current request.
• Performance: the activity log for auto-assign jobs now appends each batch instead of rewriting the whole snapshot, so a run over a large library is linear rather than quadratic. The 2000-item restore limit is now also enforced on this path.
• Performance: building the site-reference index reads post meta and post content in chunks instead of loading the entire site into memory at once; usage scanning now extends the time limit while it builds.
• Internal: renamed the internal size-sorting meta alias from the legacy mn_size to pnmf_size.

2.5.3

• Fixed: the „media attached to this post“ panel in the block editor listed empty rows — an attachment ID was passed where a post object was expected.
• Fixed: the file-size index builder could skip batches and report „finished“ while entries were still missing, so size sorting could stay incomplete.
• Fixed: permanently deleting several media at once wrote one activity-log entry per file instead of one entry per operation.
• Fixed (permissions): folder access roles were only enforced in the folder tree and the media list query. Folder create/rename/delete/move/color/pin, single-item save, bulk assign, permanent delete, activity-log undo, the native media library and the media modal now enforce them as well — a role-restricted user can no longer bypass them by calling the endpoints directly.
• Fixed: two admin messages added in 2.5.2 were stored with broken placeholders and never translated; their Chinese translations (and the folder-permission message) are now correct.
• Fixed: clicking „Dry run“ in Auto-assign silently saved the rules. Previewing no longer writes anything.
• Fixed: the folder/tag counters could show „2“ if the term query failed.

2.5.2

• Fixed a serious bug where the legacy migration routine could delete your auto-assign rules and other settings. If you had configured auto-assign rules, please open the Auto-assign tab and re-save them.
• Fixed: the „missing alt“ filter now also applies to „select all matching“, so bulk actions act on the same set you see on screen.
• Fixed: folder permission filtering could return a stale result if the current user changed during the same request.
• Fixed: the activity log now shows readable labels for permanent-delete entries instead of raw slugs.
• Performance: the auto-assign job no longer re-queries the entire candidate list on every batch (was quadratic on large libraries).
• Performance: the media list reads file sizes from the existing index instead of touching the filesystem for every item on each page load.
• Fixed: several admin messages were not translatable; Chinese translations added.
• Internal: shared asset-versioning helper; removed leftover legacy prefixes.

2.5.1

• Security hardening: bulk-edit field templates (title, caption, alt text) are now sanitized before being saved, matching the single-item edit path.
• Fixed: the Pro upgrade dialog now opens when clicking a locked Pro button. The „pro“ flag was passed to JavaScript as a string, so on sites without the Pro add-on the upsell dialog never appeared.
• Internal identifiers (function, class, option and taxonomy names) renamed to a unique prefix; existing sites are migrated automatically — folders, tags, colors, roles and logs are preserved with no action needed.

2.5.0

• Renamed to PlugNest Media Folders.
• Includes all 2.4.2 fixes and improvements (drag-and-drop reliability, folder colors, auto-assign „Videos only“, generic default rules, translation fixes).

2.4.2

• New: auto-assign scope „Videos only“.
• Changed: auto-assign default rules are now generic (Videos / Audio / Pictures / Documents by media type) — better starting point for any site.
• New (Pro): missing-alt batch workflow gains one-click „Auto-fill from filename“ and „Restore original“.
• Fixed: the folder color picker popup could not be closed with its ✕ button.
• Fixed: a template regression that stretched a gap between the upload bar and the three-column layout.
• Fixed: five confirmation dialogs with line breaks were never translated; translations now load correctly.
• Fixed: dragging a media card now always drags — a short „long-press to box-select“ timer could hijack the gesture, the full-page „drop to upload“ overlay lit up for internal drags, and dragging a card by its thumbnail image (which browsers expose as a virtual file) was treated as an upload instead of a move. Box selection is now started only from empty grid space, the upload overlay appears only for real external files, and internal drags — by card or by thumbnail — always move.

2.4.1

• Compliance refactor: all Pro-only code moved into the separate PlugNest Media Folders Pro add-on. The free plugin now contains zero gated features — every line of code in it runs fully for everyone.

2.4.0

• PlugNest Media Folders: same great plugin, new name (the MediaNest name is retired).
• Pro update gate: licensed sites receive Pro updates automatically; unlicensed copies no longer receive Pro updates.

2.3.1

• Fixed: folder star could not be un-pinned from the pinned section.
• Fixed: folder color rejected valid values; the color picker now offers a full palette plus custom color, with a close button.
• Free version now shows Pro buttons in a locked state with an upgrade guide.
• Folder access roles: the dialog now pre-fills current roles, and restricted folders show a lock badge.

2.3.0

• New: folder tiles in the center panel (breadcrumbs, drop targets, desktop drag-in).
• New: file-size index and file-size sorting.
• New: Multilingual — English base with Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese translations.
• New: PlugNest Media Folders Pro — cleanup wizard, missing-alt workflow, folder import/export, access roles.
• Fixed: button icon alignment in the header actions.

2.1.2

• Fixed: usage scanning could miss media referenced with escaped/URL-encoded paths (Elementor data).
• Strengthened: bulk cleanup now always re-scans before deleting.
