 * Dear David Lingren
    I became a complete fan of your plugin! Everything works 
   fine except one particular thing: I’m using the plugin [“Slider Revoultion”](http://www.themepunch.com/codecanyon/revolution_wp/).
   When I try to add new pictures to a slider the [filters (e.g Att. Category) don’t show up in the “add media” popup window](https://plus.google.com/photos/110839711257660407491/albums/5972095858639018817/5972095858844253330?gpinv=AMIXal9CJU5v0O6xOEJx0xvK_0mRpYVw0Co2sUEaICRHm3108oUpHfSQLoN6pK439aIkqPM3TmDtYeCfN9ZLpar4UrszXzbC_AbWQtuI0I59hPGePL6B11A&cfem=1&pid=5972095858844253330&oid=110839711257660407491)
   as they do on other sites. Do you have an idea what could cause this issue? If
   not, you could maybe tell me how to search after “att. categories”? Thanks for
   your help! Janosh S.

 * Thank you for your vote of confidence, for this question and for posting the 
   links to Slider Revolution and the screen shot.
 * I followed the link to Slider Revolution; it looks like a terrific product. Sadly,
   it’s not a free plugin so I can’t try it our on my test system.
 * Your screen shot looks like it’s from one of the “other sites” because the filter
   dropdown is showing up; is that right? When you use Slider Revolution, is the
   problem limited to the filter dropdown, i.e., do the enhanced search box and 
   year/month dropdowns still show up?
 * Here are links to two earlier support topics with similar issues for other plugins:
 * [Problem with Simplefields](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-simplefields)
 * [filter not showing in modal popup window for image widget](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/filter-not-showing-in-modal-popup-window-for-image-widget)
 * As those topics indicate, there is no standard way for plugins to extend or share
   the toolbar in the Media Manager Modal Window. Each plugin (including MLA) does
   this differently.
 * I regret that there is not a better answer to your question at this time. If 
   you want to take this up with the author(s) of Slider Revolution I would be happy
   to work with them in any way I can to improve things.
 * Thanks for your interest in the Media Library Assistant. I’m going to mark this
   issue resolved because MLA is not involved, but please let me know if you have
   any other problems or questions

 * Good morning
    Thank you for your quick answer. In the meantime I got in contact
   with the Revolution Slider team. Someone worte me back that they will think about
   to fix the problem in one of the next updates (maybe :-)… Because the ‘enhanced
   search box’ is showing up correctly I thought to filder my images via the search–
   ad interim. Is there a way to search after ‘att. categories’? Thank you again
   for your interested and detailed answer! Best Regards, Janosh

 * Thanks for your update. If the Slider Revolution people want it I am happy to
   help them.
 * The Att. Categories dropdown seems to be a special issue – I do not know why.
 * I am working on enhancements for filtering by Att. Categories and other taxonomies
   for a future MLA version. This has come up several times in the support forum:
 * [category selection when uploading media](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-selection-when-uploading-media)
 * [Different form field for category selection?](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-form-field-for-category-selection)
 * [MLA search images by tag](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/mla-search-images-by-tag)
 * I will post an update here when I have progress to report. Thanks again for your
   interest in the plugin and for your patience.

 * This idea has come up again and I am actively thinking about how to implement
   it. Have a look at this new topic, then post an update here with any feedback
   you have; thanks:

 * I have released MLA v1.90, which changes the way controls are added to the Media
   Manager Modal Window toolbar. In my testing, this resolves the issue you reported
   with Slider Revolution.
 * The latest release also includes the new “Terms Search” feature and adds “Terms”
   to the list of fields for the Search Media box. These features are available 
   on the Media/Assistant submenu and in the Media Manager Modal Window.
 * Please give the new features a try and let me know if you have any problems, 
   questions or suggestions for further improvement. Thanks for motivating an enhancement
   to the plugin!
 * I am marking this topic resolved, but please update it if you are still having
   trouble after upgrading to the new version. Thanks for bringing this issue to
   my attention and for you patience while I resolved it.
