Changelog
2.1.0
- Enhancement: Switched multi-select type from Library to Gallery. You no longer have to hold the SHIFT or CONTROL/COMMAND keys to select multiple items. To restore the old behavior, use the new
fg_use_legacy_selectionfilter. See docs for details. - Bugfix: Fix broken details sidebar hiding filter. The details sidebar is now properly hidden again by default, and can be shown be using the
fg_show_sidebarfilter. - Under the Hood: Complete rewrite of all CSS styles. FG styles are now isolated and don’t affect other media manager modals.
