Enhanced Media Library extends the WP media library by registering one or more custom taxonomies against the attachment post type (typically media_category), and by enabling additional MIME types stored in the eml_taxonomies and eml_mimes options inside wp_options. The plugin's filtered media grid is a clear improvement on stock, but cross-cutting questions like 'which SVGs sit outside the Icons category' or 'which attachments fall into more than one media category' still need either custom queries or a click through the grid.

SleekView reads the same taxonomies and the same attachment rows and pivots them into a flat, sortable list. Media Category breadcrumb, secondary categories, MIME type, file size, uploader, and upload date all become first-class filterable columns. Saved views like 'SVGs with no category', 'PDFs missing from Documents', or 'images larger than 1 MB outside Heroes' load in one click and can be shared across editors. A multi-value Categories column keeps the original assignment intact when an attachment legitimately belongs to several categories.

Inline edits write through wp_set_object_terms for taxonomy changes and through standard hooks for MIME-aware operations. The plugin's own settings for which taxonomies and MIME types are active continue to drive what shows up in the column picker, so a category that is disabled in EML stays out of the table view too. Enhanced Media Library keeps governing the structure; SleekView gives editors the cross-cutting list view to use it at scale.

Enhanced Media Library does the structural work the WordPress media library has long needed: real taxonomies on attachments, extra MIME types enabled cleanly, and a filtered grid that respects both. The structure is good. The shape it leaves missing is the flat, sortable list with category, MIME, size, and uploader all on the same row, filterable together, saveable as a team view, and editable inline.

Brand managers need to spot stray logo files. Curators need to clear the no-category backlog. Agencies need per-section storage reports for client conversations.

None of those questions are easy to answer in a grid, no matter how good the filter bar is. SleekView reads the same taxonomies and the same attachments EML already governs and renders them as a real audit table. The grid stays for browsing, the table is for the audit, and the underlying structure EML enforces stays the single source of truth.
