“File Gallery” extends WordPress’ media (attachments) capabilities
by adding a new gallery shortcode handler with templating support,
a new interface for attachment handling when editing posts, and much
more… Here’s the full list of features:
Features:
- multiple galleries per post with custom attachment order
- a flexible templating system (PHP, CSS, JS) – choose a different
template for each gallery, even within the same post (4 templates
included with plugin) - simple, easy to use UI with drag and drop sorting shows attachment
thumbnails beneath text editor: everything attachments-related is on
the same screen you’re editing your post on - fully integrated with the visual editor (tinyMCE) – click on the
placeholder image and change any option in the File
Gallery metabox – changes will be applied instantly - settings page extends the default media settings page
- attach copies of items from media library to current post (copies
data only, not the file) - copy all attachments from another post
- unattach (detach) items from current post
- media tags = tag your attachments and then use those tags to choose
which attachments you want to display in your gallery or to filter
your media library items. - custom fields for attachments
- gallery pagination
- different background colors for items in media library depending
on their status = completely unattached (white), attached to other
posts (red), or attached to current post (yellow) - compatible with “WordPress Mobile Edition”, “Media Tags” and
“WPML Multilingual CMS” plugins - basic caching of gallery output and frequent queries (transients)
- please see the help file for complete list of features

Thanks goes out to…
- All the contributors, translators, and people leaving comments,
bug reports and suggestions on the official page and in the
WordPress.org forums
Plans for the next versions
sooner:
- manage media tags for all selected attachments
- audio and video preview on editing screens
later:
- phpdoc all the functions
- more detailed description for file_gallery_shortcode function
(what can be used in ‘orderby’, what do ‘columns’ mean) for beginner programmers - yoxview lightbox http://www.yellow-llama.com/yoxview-gallery-wordpress-plugin/
maybe:
- show attachments’ Custom Fields in the main page of Media Library (custom column)
- media library sort by file size or picture dimensions
probably not, but who knows:
- watermarking – probably in another plugin…
- when detaching / deleting attachments, just remove them from DOM
without refreshing the entire file gallery box, but take care of
originals and copies
And thank you for reading this ????
