No. SleekView only reads the attachment rows and _sd_* postmeta the plugin already wrote into wp_posts and wp_postmeta. Every generation still goes through the plugin with the endpoint, model paths, and limits it manages, so the dashboard never adds usage.

No. SleekView caches each chart card for the duration you set on the source and runs indexed group-by queries against wp_posts joined to wp_postmeta on the _sd_* keys. The reads happen in milliseconds and stay out of the Media Library's way.

Yes. Every SD attachment is a wp_posts row with a post_author column. SleekView Charts can group by post_author and resolve it against wp_users to rank editors by SD image count across any date range you pick on the dashboard.

Yes. The plugin writes the active checkpoint into _sd_model on every generation. SleekView reads whatever value the plugin writes, so fine-tuned checkpoints and LoRA names show up next to sd-1.5, sdxl, and sd-3 on the same chart card.

Yes. SleekView dashboards have a role scope. Save the SD dashboard for designer, editor, or content_lead and only users in that role see it, so writers don't see model breakdowns and finance doesn't have to scroll attachments.

Only if the plugin renames the postmeta keys SleekView is reading. The _sd_prompt, _sd_model, _sd_sampler, and _sd_seed keys have stayed stable across releases, and SleekView shows a clear error and lets you re-map a key if anything changes.

Yes. Every saved chart view has a shortcode and a block. Drop it on a frontend dashboard page, scope the page to a client role, and the client sees the SD numbers without ever logging into the Media Library or the plugin settings.

Yes. Every SleekView chart card has a CSV export that pulls the same attachment rows and _sd_* postmeta the chart was built on. Use it to hand finance a monthly SD usage file or feed an external BI tool directly.
