[XB] Asset Manager: Manage, Optimize & Replace Images 1.0.0

Manage, organize, replace, and optimize XenForo images from a centralized asset library in the Admin Control Panel.

Asset Manager provides tools for browsing image files, tracking their usage, reducing file sizes, and managing unused assets. Find references across XenForo styles and interface elements, preview image replacements, compare optimization results, and review storage consumption.

Safely archive unused images, restore previous files and references, and process multiple assets with built-in validation, previews, and recovery options.

• Asset Sorting: Sort library results using supported file properties and discovery dates.
• Persistent Filters: Keep selected search conditions across pagination and library views.
• Detailed File Information: Inspect image dimensions, format, size, references, and storage state without leaving the library.
• Image Previews: Examine assets against a transparency checkerboard and select files directly from gallery previews.
