## Description

Neat Media adds a complete folder management system to the WordPress Media Library.
Files can be organized into unlimited nested folders, moved between folders using
drag & drop, and displayed by folder in both grid and list view.

#### Features

 * Unlimited nested folders (subfolders)
 * Create, rename, delete and move folders via context menu
 * Drag & drop to move folders into new hierarchies
 * Individual folder colors
 * File counter per folder including recursive count of subfolders
 * Drag & drop to assign files to folders
 * Multiple file selection (Shift-click for range selection)
 * Sort files by name or date (ascending/descending)
 * Selection counter and bulk delete with confirmation
 * Collapsible sidebar, sticky when scrolling
 * Context menu (three-dot button) per folder: Edit, New Subfolder, Delete
 * Last selected folder is restored on next page visit
 * Clean modern design using Inter font

#### Installation

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`
 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress
 3. Open the Media Library – the Neat Media sidebar appears automatically on the left

#### Data Storage

Neat Media does not create custom database tables. Folders are stored as a WordPress
taxonomy (neat_media_folder) in the standard WordPress tables.

## FAQ

### Will my files be deleted when I delete a folder?

No. Deleting a folder only removes the folder and its assignments. All media files
remain in the Media Library and become uncategorized.

### How do I assign files to a folder?

Select files in the Media Library using checkboxes, then drag and drop them onto
a folder in the sidebar.

### Can I use this plugin on mobile devices?

Yes. Drag & drop works on touch devices as well. Long press (500ms) on a folder 
opens the context menu.

### Does it work with page builders?

The plugin works alongside all major page builders. It only affects the Media Library
admin view, not the front end.
