Library

The Library page (/modules/media/files) is a Finder-style explorer of every folder and file. The same explorer opens as the picker of an asset field.

Navigate

• Views: Recent, Starred, Largest files, Public and Missing alt text. Views can stay inside one folder.
• Locations: the folder tree. A linked folder (feeding a field of one of your pages) shows a link icon; starred folders show a star.
• Search: names, alt text and folders, ignoring accents, case and word order.
• Facets: type, visibility, modification date and orientation, plus the sort order.
• Display: grid, list or columns, with a thumbnail size slider, and a details panel for the selected file. Thumbnails are the thumb size, cropped square; SVG files use the uncropped preview size and fit inside the tile, so a wide logo shows whole. Other files, PDFs included, show an icon of their type.

Act on files

• Upload (or drop files on the explorer) sends them to the current folder through the shared upload queue, which keeps going while you navigate.
• New folder creates a subfolder. Names are unique per folder, case aside; an upload that collides offers Keep both (photo (2).jpg) or Cancel.
• Select files to move, change their visibility, delete them, or download them as a zip. A folder downloads as a zip with its subfolders.
• The details panel edits the alt text, opens the file page, opens the image editor, copies the link and downloads the file.
