Hey, today we have good news! Finally, Delo Design and NorrNext have released the long-awaited release of a popular media manager for Joomla which works on Joomla 4.

Bug fix:

  • Failed to upload file if maximum size of file upload param is limited on the server.
  • Loading of thumbnails is being processed in limited queues. The current logic: requests do not go all at once, but go in strict sequence in two streams when it is necessary to show 30 pictures from the grid.

Hotkeys list:

  • Delete - delete
  • F2 - rename
  • Ctrl+C/Cmd+C - copy
  • Ctrl+X/Cmd+X cut
  • Ctrl+V/Cmd+V - paste
  • Backspace - return back to the previous folder in navigation history
  • F5 - reload the list of files in the existing folder
