Separate Media Library for each user

Built in features

The Media Library has major updates with the upcoming version. You can see the changes in the slides by Daryl Koopersmith here. You can read the announcement and discussion on “Make”.

Your request for “tags/categories” is already built into 3.5.

Note

The difference between themes and plugins is pretty easy: Display vs. Functionality. So I’d suggest to not build such functionality into a theme, but keep it separated as plugin. Your benefit from doing this: You/Your client wouldn’t loose this functionality on update or theme change. It simply makes your life a lot easier. Imagine, that you got another client requesting this. Then you’d simply upload your already existing plugin instead of ripping this out of your theme and moving it into the next theme.
