Simme Media Organiser

Simme Media Organiser provides a visual workspace for organising and maintaining the WordPress Media Library without changing the physical location or public URL of existing attachments simply because they are placed in a Simme folder.

The plugin is designed around non-destructive media management. Virtual organisation is kept separate from WordPress attachment files, and Image Studio keeps the original source available as a protected Master while edits are created as separate working files.

Key features include:

• Hierarchical virtual folders for organising attachments without moving their physical upload files.

• Favourites, search, filtering and remembered card positioning for faster navigation.

• Media details and ALT text editing from the organiser.

• Asset protection that blocks normal Simme deletion until protection is deliberately removed.

• Recoverable protected Trash with configurable protection periods, purge-unlock timing and explicit permanent-purge confirmation.

• Local Media Health scanning for missing ALT text, heavy files, broken files, unfiled media and storage usage.

• Exact duplicate detection using local SHA-256 file hashes.

• Local action history with Undo and Redo for supported organisation and protection changes.

• Image Studio with a protected Master, multiple editable Working Versions, crop, resize, rotate, flip and adjustable output quality.

• Separate Studio-default and Active-in-WordPress states so choosing what Studio opens first does not silently change the attachment WordPress serves.

• Version-state Undo and Redo within Image Studio.

• Optional integration with the standard WordPress media selection frame.

Simme Media Organiser does not require an external cloud service for its media analysis. The health checks and exact-duplicate comparisons included in this release run on the WordPress site.

Virtual folders are non-destructive

Moving an attachment into a Simme virtual folder does not rename the physical media file, change the attachment ID, rewrite the uploads-relative path or change the existing public URL.

Protected Image Studio workflow

Image Studio keeps the original source as a protected Master. Normal Studio edits create a separate Working Version rather than overwriting that Master. A Working Version can be made active in WordPress, and the Master remains available for rollback.

Optional separately distributed Pro edition

Simme Media Organiser Free is a complete product and does not require a purchase, licence key or Pro installation to use its included features.

A separate optional Simme Media Organiser Pro edition is available for sites and teams that need advanced workflow automation, review and intelligence tools, transfer and batch workflows, and additional professional Studio capabilities.
