 * Hi — this plugin looks to be the most thorough and careful of the media cleanup
   plugins I’ve looked at. But I don’t see anyway to bulk process (to either restore
   or delete) the trashed images, even though there are checkboxes that would indicate
   you should be able to do so. Am I missing something? Many thanks in advance.

 * Ok actually the button is there, it just doesn’t display when you switch tabs.
   
   When switching from **Unused** to **Trash**, the trashed files load correctly,
   but the toolbar still shows **Trash All Unused**. **Restore Selected**, **Delete
   Permanently**, and **Empty Trash** are missing.
 * **Steps to reproduce:**
    1. Open Oli Media Cleaner on the Unused tab.
    2. Click the Trash tab.
    3. Check the toolbar above the file list.
 * **Expected:** The toolbar shows the Trash actions immediately.
 * **Workaround:** Refreshing the page while on the Trash tab displays the correct
   buttons.
 * Observed with Oli Media Cleaner **1.5.1**.

 * Hi [@norabrown212](https://wordpress.org/support/users/norabrown212/) ,
 * Thanks for the follow-up and the clear repro steps — you were right.
 * The Trash actions were only rendered when the page first loaded on that tab. 
   Switching from Unused to Trash via AJAX loaded the files, but left Trash All 
   Unused in the toolbar and never showed Restore Selected, Delete Permanently, 
   or Empty Trash. A refresh on Trash worked because that request built the correct
   buttons from scratch.
 * This is fixed in 1.5.2. The toolbar now keeps every bulk action in the page and
   shows the right set as soon as you change tabs.
 * Please update to 1.5.2 and try Unused → Trash again. You should see the Trash
   actions immediately, with no refresh.
 * Thanks again for tracing this.
 * Olivier
