Quantum Manager 2.0.0. Now it is Joomla 4 ready!
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.
Meet Quantum Manager 2.0 for both Joomla 3 and Joomla 4! This release comes with extra new features, a lot of improvements and some bug fixes. The component works natively on Joomla 4 and also on earlier version 3.x.
Changelog
New features:
- The replacement of fields in the com_fields component temporarily does not work. In Joomla 4 there is no interception of modal windows from core file manager (com_media) except image selection in Article Edit mode. Joomla 3 retains all functionality.
- New option: change names in MD5 hashes when uploading a file
- New option: enable Quantum Manager on the site front-end
- New option: opening a folder by one or two clicks. It can be useful if you need to select folder by one click and proceed inside by performing double click.
- New option: a new .jpg file can be created from the clipboard image (Cmd+V or Ctrl+V).
- Added hotkey system (back, delete, copy, paste, cut, rename) - see Help button
- Added sorting files by size, date modified, name
- Grid mode expanded to 10 items per column
- Joomla 4 option: you can move out the menu item from "Components" to the main menu in sidebar. There is a second option allowing to rename menu item from Quantum Manager to Files.
- Added support for regular expressions in search by name, for example: regex:[a-z0-9]+.png. Simple expressions are also available, like *.png, that is, find all png files.
- Added "Make a copy" action for files and folders.
Improved:
- Thumbnails/previews for files added and horizontal lines removed in the table file view mode.
- Back and Up buttons moved to the top right to the other toolbar buttons.
- Error messages on file uploading error displays as notifications instead of modal window.
- YOOtheme Pro integration plugin is automatically enabled.
- Integration with Pixabay removed.
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
