Detail panel and context menu

Inspect and edit without leaving the page

Detail panel (side panel)

  • Open: Double-click a media item (or select and use "View details" / "Open" from the context menu). A side panel (drawer) opens with:

    • Preview – Image/video/audio player or document icon.

    • Editable fields: Title, Alt text, Caption, Description (WordPress media meta). You can edit in place and click Save; the API updates the attachment and the panel/list refresh.

    • Copy URL – Button to copy the file URL to the clipboard.

  • Close: Click outside the panel or a close button. The grid/list state (selection, scroll) is preserved.

  • Benefit: Edit metadata and get the URL without opening WordPress or a new tab.

Context menu (right-click)

  • On a media item: Open detail panel, Move to folder, Delete, Copy URL, etc.

  • On a folder: Rename, Delete, Move to root, Icon color (submenu with color dots and "Clear color").

  • On empty area: Create folder (if supported).

  • Benefit: Fast actions where you are, without opening the toolbar or a modal first.
