The structure of the folder management – the three different folder types:
- The normal folder: A folder can contain all types of files and collections, but no galleries. If you want to create a subfolder, simply select a folder from the list and click this button.
- The collection: A collection cannot contain files. But you can create other collections and galleries there. The gallery mentioned above is only a gallery data folder, i.e. they are not automatically in your frontend (your website). You can create a visual gallery from this gallery data folder via the visual editor in your page / post.
- The gallery folder: A gallery data folder can only contain images. It is easier for you to distinguish where your visual galleries are. You can also drag & drop the images to order them in a custom image order.
To organize your media library, the top toolbar offers you all possible functions. Drag and drop is the easiest way to move files. All your files are moved quickly with one motion. Hold an image, drag it to a target folder and release the mouse button. Drag & Drop also works with touch devices. On the iPad, use your fingers to move files.
Folder hierarchy
Create an infinite number of folders with an infinite number of subfolders. You can also create a collection-gallery relationship that helps you see where your image galleries are. Names of your created folders, collections and galleries can be changed instantly. Please note that duplicate subfolder names are not allowed within a folder.
Newly uploaded files are automatically uploaded to the currently selected folder – in grid and table mode. You will also find useful information about the current upload progress.
To move multiple files at once, switch to WordPress „Bulk select“ mode. Then select your desired images and files and move them by drag & drop. This also works in the media library list mode: simply mark the files you want to move (checkbox) and then drag once to move the checked files.
A file or image can also be in multiple folders, as you know from your operating system (shortcut / alias). Simply drag your files, hold down any key on your keyboard, and drop them into a specific folder where you want to create the file shortcuts.
Notes:
- The plugin is in German and also from a German developer (only the booking is in English)
- All links to photos and media remain. Nothing happens there. Don't worry.
- Operation is very simple and intuitive. No settings are necessary!
