# Phase 4 Plan 01: Polish & UX Summary

**Bulk media assignment, uncategorized filter, folder hierarchy drag & drop, toast notifications replacing all alert() calls, and polished empty/loading states.**

## Performance

| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| Duration | ~15min |
| Tasks | 2 completed |
| Files modified | 4 |

## Acceptance Criteria Results

| Criterion | Status | Notes |
|-----------|--------|-------|
| AC-1: Bulk assign mediow do folderu | Pass | Button in toolbar, dropdown with hierarchy, multi-select assign |
| AC-2: Filtr "Bez folderu" | Pass | Uncategorized link in sidebar, folderId=-1, NOT EXISTS query |
| AC-3: Drag & drop folderow w drzewku | Pass | application/mfp-folder type, yellow visual, root drop zone |
| AC-4: Toast notifications i empty states | Pass | All alert()→toast, CTA empty state, CSS spinner |

## Accomplishments

- Bulk assign: "Przenies do folderu" button in WP media toolbar with hierarchical dropdown
- "Bez folderu" filter in sidebar using folderId=-1 (MFP_Media_Query NOT EXISTS)
- Folder drag & drop with separate dataTransfer type to avoid collision with media drag
- Drop on tree root area moves folder to top level (parent=0)
- Toast notification system (success/error/info) with 3s auto-hide and CSS animations
- All alert() replaced with toast (confirm() kept for destructive delete)
- Empty state with folder icon, text, and CTA button
- CSS spinner replacing "..." loading text
- 7 new i18n strings in both enqueue methods

## Files Created/Modified

| File | Change | Purpose |
|------|--------|---------|
| `assets/js/folder-tree.js` | Major rewrite | Toast system, uncategorized, folder D&D, empty CTA, spinner |
| `assets/js/media-filter.js` | Major rewrite | Bulk assign, toast integration, mfp-media-dropped handler |
| `assets/css/admin.css` | Extended | Uncategorized, folder D&D yellow, bulk dropdown, toasts, empty, spinner |
| `media-folder-pro.php` | Modified | 7 new i18n strings in both enqueue methods |

## Decisions Made

| Decision | Rationale | Impact |
|----------|-----------|--------|
| Dual dataTransfer types | Prevent folder drag from triggering media assign | Clean D&D disambiguation |
| Yellow vs blue D&D indicators | Visual distinction between operations | Clear UX feedback |
| MutationObserver for bulk button | WP toolbar renders asynchronously | Reliable injection |
