This pull request introduces significant improvements to the workflow for detecting and handling uncategorized media in WordPress sites, enhances the user experience with site connection and verification, and adds new UI features for folder assignment previews. It also fixes several issues related to media categorization accuracy and updates the app version to 0.4.0.

Uncategorized Media Detection and VMF Integration:

  • Improved detection of uncategorized media by using the VMF plugin's API when available, with a robust fallback to WordPress taxonomy checks if needed. This ensures more accurate and reliable results for users managing large media libraries. [1] [2] [3]
  • Added a new method to fetch all assigned media IDs via the VMF API, enabling accurate reporting and logging of folder assignments.

Site Connection and Verification Enhancements:

  • Implemented a new IPC channel and UI logic to allow users to "refresh" and verify site connections, updating capabilities and providing clear feedback if a site is unreachable. This is reflected in both the ConnectTab and MediaTab components, improving reliability and user experience. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]

Plugin Installation and Activation Workflow:

  • Enhanced the plugin installation process to wait for the VMF plugin's REST API routes to become available before updating site capabilities, reducing user confusion and potential errors after plugin activation.

User Interface and Experience Improvements:

  • Added an inline assignment preview with thumbnails, breadcrumb folder paths, and an "Apply All Suggestions" button. Also introduced a modal for full-size image previews and improved the UI for folder suggestion workflows.
  • Updated the UI to display verification progress and handle errors gracefully when switching or connecting to sites. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Changelog and Versioning:

  • Updated the CHANGELOG.md and package.json to document all new features, changes, and fixes, and bumped the version to 0.4.0. [1] [2]

Most important changes:

Uncategorized Media Detection and VMF API Integration

  • Improved fallback logic for uncategorized media detection: uses VMF's API if available, otherwise checks embedded taxonomy terms and provides accurate assignment counts and logging. [1] [2]
  • Standardized the mapping of media items from VMF API responses for consistent UI rendering.
  • Added a helper for WordPress REST API requests with robust error handling.

Site Connection and Verification

  • Added a site:refresh IPC channel and corresponding UI logic to verify site connectivity and update capabilities, with clear feedback for unreachable sites. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

Plugin Activation Workflow

  • Improved plugin activation flow to wait for VMF REST routes, updating credentials only after confirmation and providing user notes if routes are delayed.

User Interface Improvements

  • Enhanced folder assignment preview, added image preview modal, and improved the overall UI for folder suggestion and verification feedback. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

Changelog and Versioning

  • Updated CHANGELOG.md and bumped app version to 0.4.0 to reflect all major additions, changes, and fixes. [1] [2]
