is there any way to filter files by their meta data in the panel? If not built-in, where would I have to start creating a custom solution (although I think this is a very important feature for anyone).
My use-case: an image portfolio with many images in one directory. The images will e.g. have categories and / or tags so I would like to be able to filter all images in category or with tag X. Otherwise you would have to click through hundreds of images and check their fields to find the desired ones.
Hm, I don’t think this is possible without modifiying the core. Or creating a custom file view (but that would be an additional view rather then replacing the current view).
Unless maybe with a custom field in the files overview…
In response to @texnixe, the code isn’t available as it was made for a client… It wouldn’t be too Hadd to make something similar though if it was needed.
With the version shown there was some modifications to the core but it could all be moved into a plugin or field for minimum fuss!
