A real novice question about orphaned, unused and unattached

    Downloaded and installed the latest version of MLA. Doesn’t seem to conflict with anything and that, of course, is great. Got my first list of media elements (274) and trying to understand the difference between “Orphan”, “Unused” and “Unattached”. My goal is to thin the forest of images that I have in the library. I checked the documentation but could find definitions of these issues.

    Thanks – John

    Thanks for the positive feedback and for your question. The where-used reporting was my original motivation for developing MLA several years ago.

    You can find more information about the “where-used” status values in the onscreen Help for the Media/Assistant admin submenu screen. Click “Help” in the upper-right corner of the submenu screen, and then select the “Where-used Reporting” tab at the left of the dropdown area. There are many Help menus and tabs throughout MLA that should answer many of your questions.

    I am marking this topic resolved, but please update it if you have any problems or further questions regarding the where-used reporting status values. Thanks for your interest in the plugin.
