Real Media Library Lite stores its folder tree in a dedicated table named realmedialibrary with columns like id, parent, name, and type. Each attachment-to-folder relationship sits in realmedialibrary_posts linking attachment post IDs to folder fid values. The default Media Library view shows the folder sidebar but offers no reporting on folder distribution, attachment counts, or growth over time.

SleekView Charts reads the attachment posts and joins them through realmedialibrary_posts to the folder tree. Number cards count total attachments and the average file size across the library. Pie cards split the catalog by top-level folder so the team sees how the library is distributed. Bar cards rank folders by attachment count to surface the biggest folders, and area cards trace upload cadence over post_date so the editorial team can see when the library actually scaled.

Every card reads the same tables RML already maintains, so the folder sidebar, drag-and-drop organizing, and front-end attachment URLs continue to behave normally. The dashboard becomes the admin-side reporting surface the folder tree has been quietly asking for.

A WordPress Media Library grows the way most digital libraries grow: quietly, in folders, until one day the team realizes that nobody knows the actual shape of the catalog anymore. Real Media Library Lite makes that catalog navigable through a folder tree but never tries to be a dashboard. The sidebar shows folders, not counts, distribution, or growth.

Media managers running quarterly reviews want library-level answers: total attachments, distribution across top-level folders, monthly growth, and the heaviest folders that might need cleanup. They do not want to click each folder and count by hand. SleekView Charts reads the realmedialibrary and realmedialibrary_posts tables RML already maintains, joins them to the attachment library, and renders the result as a chart dashboard.

The folder sidebar, drag-and-drop organizing, and front-end attachment URLs continue to behave normally because nothing about how RML stores folders changes.
