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
