I've upgraded to Premium to get "filter by category" when inserting pictures in a page or post. Makes live much easier when having 500 pictures in my media library.
It was really worth to spend 25€ . Thanks for this great plugin.

Great help in organising muy large media librrary
The plugin works as described.
However, we had hoped it would create something like 'Windows Explorer' for the media files folder in the backend of our Wordpress site.
We have stopped using this plugin and switched to another plugin.
just the right tool for me
best Media Library Category Enhancement PlugIn I have seen!
In my media library I have 7.493 items today. Without "Categories" it would not be possible to handle this!
Categories created interfere / get mixed in with Post categories and also the category filters don't show up in some of the media select dialogs. This plugin is just weak.

Hi Pointweb, sad to see you feel this way. As mentioned in the faq by default the WordPress Media Library uses the same categories as WordPress does (such as in posts & pages). If you want to use separate categories for the WordPress Media Library add this code to the file functions.php located in your theme or child-theme: Add this code to the file functions.php located in your theme or child-theme:
/**
* separate media categories from post categories
* use a custom category called 'category_media' for the categories in the media library
*/
add_filter( 'wpmediacategory_taxonomy', function(){ return 'category_media'; } ); //requires PHP 5.3 or newer
