I believe you need to request a translation review:

Specifically, this translation request is submitted at https://make.www.ads-software.com/polyglots/tag/editor-requests/

I’m new to how this process works, so please let me know how you get on and if you run into any problems.

.pot translation file will be added to 1.2.6, releasing Thursday November 19th 2020 23:59 UTC.

You’re welcome to then translate to your own language. Docs:

Quoting, edited to achieve clarity and understanding:

…if a folder says “Animals (7)”, and I click on it. I expect to see 7 Animals. Not <snip> the dozens of animals that are in subfolders.

If this is what you meant, then surely this is the feature request?

Added to 1.2.3, released Thursday 22nd October 2020.

Closing.

(Updated): I’m not seeing a use case for needing this behaviour, noting that WordPress’ Taxonomies (e.g. Categories for Posts), as well as numerous other Media Library categorization Plugins, do not perform in the way you’re requesting. Any item that is categorized to a child category is not counted as categorized in the parent category, so to introduce such will result in more confusion than help.

If there is a strong usability use case for this, please feel free to illustrate it. However, feature requests are at our discretion, noting that this is a free product that isn’t designed to meet the needs of every single prospective user.

Thanks.

1) Media Library -> All Categories in List View: Clicking “Add New” takes me to media-new.php
but
Media Library -> All Categories in Grid View: Clicking “Add New” opens the uploader there on the screen.

Is this an intentional difference, or perhaps part of the problem?

That’s how WordPress functions on its List and Grid views, regardless of our Plugin’s usage. If you believe otherwise, deactivate Media Library Organizer, repeat your debugging steps and you’ll note the same behaviour.

Media Library -> Some Category in Grid View: The file uploads, but does not render on the screen. async-upload.php returns a status of 200 with a bunch of json including what looks like the html that it should write to the screen, but it just doesn’t. There’s no error message, and no javascript errors or other messages are logged to the console.

The uploaded attachment is not categorized on upload. Therefore, the category filter rightly shows attachments matching the chosen category i.e. it will not show the uploaded attachment. The attachment does, however, upload, and removing said category filter (i.e. accessing ‘All Media Categories’) will show said attachment.

Also of note, is that the image is NOT tagged with the category I was currently browsing, when it really feels like it should be. That is, if I’m currently filtering by “Animals -> Farm Animals” and click “Add New”, I would fully expect my upload to go “into” the category/folder I was browsing.

Correct. We may consider adding this feature to the next update. If so, expect to see this on Thursday 22nd October 2020 23:59 UTC, no sooner.

What error message appears / what prevents you from adding media items in the grid view?

We’re not reproducing, but if the issue persists with the latest version of WordPress and our Plugin, feel free to reach out again and we’ll investigate.
