A full-featured file manager for your WordPress admin, with a folder tree, list/grid views, and copy/cut/paste - no FTP needed.

== Description ==

Lion File Manager gives you a simple, safe way to manage your site's files straight from wp-admin, without needing an FTP client.

**Key Features:**

* Two-pane layout: a lazy-loaded folder tree on the left, a detailed file table on the right (Name, Permissions, Modified, Size, Kind)
* List and grid view, switchable with one click
* Upload files with a live progress bar
* Download any file straight to your computer
* Copy, Cut, and Paste files/folders between locations
* Duplicate a file or folder in place
* Rename files and folders
* Create new folders
* Delete files and folders (single or multi-select, with confirmation)
* Right-click context menu for every action, on items and on empty folder space
* New File menu (TXT/CSS/HTML/JS/PHP/JSON/MD) and New Folder
* Get Info panel with size, path, permissions, and MD5/SHA256 checksums
* Site-wide search - finds matches anywhere in your install, not just the folder you're browsing
* Every action is confined to your WordPress install - no way to browse outside it
* Admin-only access (`manage_options`) - nothing here is exposed to other roles or the public
* Hardened against abuse: rate-limited mutating actions, and .htaccess/php.ini/web.config-style files can never be created, uploaded, renamed into, or pasted into by this tool

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/lion-file-manager` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress.
3. Use the "Lion File Manager" menu to browse and manage your site's files.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Can other users see or use the file manager? =

No. Every action requires the `manage_options` capability (administrator by default), and every request is checked against a WordPress security nonce.

= Can I browse outside my WordPress install? =

No. Every path is validated against your WordPress root folder before any file operation runs, so the file manager can never read, write, or delete anything outside your site.

= What happens if I upload a file with the same name as an existing one? =

It's never silently overwritten - the new file is automatically renamed (e.g. "image (1).jpg") so nothing existing is lost.

= Is this plugin GDPR compliant? =

Yes. This plugin does not collect or store any visitor data - it is an admin-only tool with no frontend footprint.

== Screenshots ==

1. File browser with folder navigation
2. Upload in progress
3. Rename and delete actions

== Privacy Policy ==

Lion File Manager does not collect, store, or transmit any visitor or site data. It has no frontend output and makes no external requests - all it does is manage files inside your own WordPress install, gated to logged-in administrators.
