    Hi
    I think your plugin rocks but its kinda bloated with features in my humble opinion.
    Have you ever thought of putting some of the features into add-ons plugins? A good example of this is the MLA Gallery and Custom fields, I have never used it because it use ACF to build those types of things.

    The design should follow the wp design standards more and i would love to help with that. I could do a design and send it to you and if you liked it you could use it.

    I was also thinking about forking your project on github with your blessing. If you liked what i did you could use the code.

    What do you think? Do you need help?

    Great plugin ??

    J

    ps forgive me if this is not the place to post this.

    Thanks for the good words for your thoughts and for your generous offer.

    MLA started with a very simple idea – write some code to find where attachments are used in a site and identify the “orphans”. I also thought that attachments were second-class “post-type” objects and wanted a Media/Library screen that had features like quick edit and bulk edit. [mla_gallery] was born to allow queries on taxonomies, etc. and to support non-image items. Most of the other features have come from customer suggestions. For example the Views, Uploads, Custom Fields, and IPTC/EXIF tabs were all in response to customer requests.

    I share your concern about feature creep/bloat and would welcome a change to discuss it further. If you’d like to follow up, the best way to proceed is to give me your e-mail address. You can use the Contact Us page at our web site:

    I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks for your interest in the plugin and for your offer.
