## Description

Choose photos from your computer, an ordinary photo ZIP, or the WordPress Media 
Library. Add text, captions and alternative text, arrange your photos and review
before creating a draft. You can also append text and a new gallery to an existing
editable draft without replacing earlier content.

Advanced prepared packages support JPEG, PNG, WebP and small MP4 files. They are
checked against the destination site and file checksums. Package uploads use chunks
and import progress is saved on the server. Publish drafts through the WordPress
editor; removing a gallery item does not delete its media file.

The simple composer supports up to 20 photos, each <=4 MiB and <=2400 px on the 
longest side. Ordinary photo ZIPs are <=20 MiB compressed and expanded. MP4 requires
a prepared package and is <=4 MiB per file. Lower hosting limits still apply. There
is no transcoding, cloud connection, product import or large-video support.

Media files can be accessible through direct URLs while posts are drafts. The selection
is stored in the same browser/account using IndexedDB. The plugin does not send 
media to an external cloud service. This does not certify privacy settings of the
surrounding site or its other plugins.

### Source code

The complete, editable source is included in this plugin. Files in assets/_.js and
assets/_.css are the original, human-readable JavaScript and CSS served directly
by WordPress. They are not compiled, minified or bundled. No npm, webpack, build
command or external repository is required to modify or regenerate these files: 
edit the shipped source files directly. All PHP source is included under includes/
and in the main plugin file.

No third-party JavaScript or CSS library is bundled. The editor uses the WordPress-
provided JavaScript APIs, and the photo ZIP builder is original MATUQO source. Original
notices and the GPL license are retained in COPYING.txt and NOTICE.txt.

Translations are managed through translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/matuqo-
media-importer/ after directory approval. English is the fallback. Lithuanian translations
are prepared separately for contribution to that project; this ZIP contains no compiled
translation catalogs.

## Installation

 1. Confirm PHP 8.2+, ZipArchive, private temporary storage and a database supporting
    GET_LOCK.
 2. Install and activate the plugin using the WordPress plugin installer.
 3. Open Tools > Media Importer. Choose photos, add text, review and create a draft.
 4. For prepared packages, open Advanced tools and select a media-package-v1 ZIP for
    this exact site’s home URL.

## FAQ

### Does it publish automatically?

No. Import creates or appends to drafts. Normal WordPress publishing remains a separate
editorial path.

### Can I import video directly in the photo composer?

No. Small MP4 files require prepared packages, up to 4 MiB per asset.

### Can I edit a saved post?

Yes, in the WordPress editor. Gallery removals keep media files in the library.

### Does Free expire after a trial or number of imports?

No trial expiry or import-count payment lock is included. Future Pro functionality
is not shipped.
