Dynamix File Manager

[HDGuy]

I agree, this app is great. It's a nice and quick way of transfering files within the NAS. 

 

I use my Unraid setup as a very basic media server so I use this plugin quite a lot to move files around. 

[Zotarios]

I would suggest adding a feature to set or unset the immutable flag (with chattr) on files/folders.

What I like to see in a future release:

 

1.) The breadcrumbs disallows copy&pasting the path:

Without plugin:

Maybe you could add a "copy to clipboard" feature or simply use the old design, but link the dir parts.

 

2.) Renaming or moving dirs on the same partition uses rsync. Instead it should use the much faster mv. By that it won't kill reflink copies of files (rsync does not understand them and copies them 1:1), too.

 

3.) The transfer popup should allow minimizing. I don't want to wait for the transfer being finished. Maybe it should minimize as a "progress bar" to the bottom status line and can be opened through a click on it again.

 

4.) Typing the target path should automatically update the dropdown accordingly

 

5.) Typing a path should auto-complete (TAB would be a dream to confirm)

 

6.) Add --sparse or -S to rsync so sparse files are copied efficiently (at the moment vdisks are copied 1:1 and aren't sparse anymore). Example:

Great pluggin!

 

When viewing a share, for example, is there a way to see all of the actions (Copy, Move, Delete, Upload, etc.) at the top of the file browser? For example, when I have a share with a lot of individual folders/items, I have to scroll all the way down to get to the upload button. 

 

Thanks!

 

Edit: I apologize for not searching. This question was already answered here.

Would really like a queue option- so you can add multiple jobs to the queue after the first has started rather than just one action at a time.

I'd love to see this too.  I've recently started ripping a whole load of my Blu-rays and would love to be able to queue them instead of having to move one, wait (an eternity for rsync to do it's copy/delete operation 😉) then queue the next one ....

Noticed an issue where if a upload gets a out of space error, the upload operation simply silently fails and does not notify the user.

[haeho]

Several problems were found during use:

 

unRAID version: 6.10.3
Dynamix File Manager version: 2022.09.07

1. Multi-process upload is not supported

    (1). Open two browser windows to upload files respectively, first upload "File_A" in the TAB_A window, then upload "File_B" in the TAB_B window, use "watch ls -hl" in the shell to check the file changes, and find that only "File_B" "Uploading, and "File_A" appears to be interrupted after "File_B" performs the upload operation.

 

 

 

2. In some cases, the uploaded file is corrupted

    (1). The operation steps are as above. After the "File_B" transfer is complete, the file size is different from the original file. The original file of "File_B" was 95.6MB, but after uploading to unRAID it was 169MB, the file size of "File_B" seems to depend on how much "File_A" has already uploaded.

Tried using plugin, didn't quite work for me. Went to remove it, but it won't let me fully remove the plugin.

Plugin is still listed under Plugins

 

and if I click checkbox to remove, I get the following error:

 

how can I fully remove plugin from system?

[itimpi]

Not sure why it does not uninstall.

 

Delete the plugin’s .plg file from the flash drive and then reboot.   This type of approach will remove any plugin.

Hi, I like the plugin very much but I have a problem with it. If I want to open a config file or a log file, all files are displayed empty. Does somebody know the problem and how to fix it?

[Kilrah]

That looks like an actual empty file, what's its size?

[Truebsal]

Hi Kilrah, thats the point. It looks like an empty file but it isn't. The file size is 3.43 KB. All files look like empty files. thats my problem

[PierreT]

Maybe I missed it, but is there any way to create a new file?  A button that would allow to open an empty text editor?

Could we add create archive from selection option?

 

Would be super useful to select a few files and have them bundled into a .zip file.

 

Compression itself not important it's just handier for uploading files.

Is there a way to move/copy files from a share to an UD?

 

I cant seem to find a way to move/copy any files from any of my shares to a mounted external HD.

 

I would like to remove a bunch of files from my server and store them on an external HD.

 

Any help woudl be appreciated!

 

Thank you!

[Kilrah]

You can do it from the GUI, from the terminal with cp/rsync/mc, from containers like krusader,...

 

UD drives are in /mnt/disks/[mountpoint]

Thank you for the response....

 

I have been using the terminal for years...with the GUI I figured it would be nice to move items off the shares to my external UD drives, but still see no way to do it.

 

 

When I try to move files from a share to a UD...the option to pick from /mnt/disks/[mountpoint] is not there...even if I enter the UD share manually, it will not move the files...

 

Maybe this will be added to a futer version of the GUI file manager??

You need to access from the file manager button, not from "view share" on the shares tab

 

 

That puts you in /mnt.

Hello,

 

Yeah...I have tried that already, but still not possible to use the GUI to cop/move files from a share to a UD unfortunately...

 

If you try and select a /user/<SHARE> you cannot then copy/or move the files to a UD:

 

 

If you manually enter the UD...it errors out with "Invalid Target":

 

 

Hopefully this will be added in an update!

Ah yes, that might be intentional. Can do from diskX to UD though.

 

Terminal, or mc, or krusader etc then.

this plugin is a big help - thank you! I have one suggestion for a future release though:

when I select a single item to be deleted, copied or moved, the confirmation prompt shows me the full file path of the item I want to process. However, when I select more than one item to be deleted/copied/moved, the confirmation prompt just shows "Objects to [operation]: n", although it occupies the same amount of screen space as it does when printing out the full path of a single selected item.

 

I'd suggest to also output the full paths if multiple items are processed, as this can make it easier to review which items will be affected. The list could be printed into a scrollable container similar to how e.g. output for app updates is displayed, so even printing dozens of file paths should not be an issue while using the same amount of screen space.

[mgutt]

Could you add the keyword "explorer" in the plugin description so it can be found in the apps through "File Explorer", too?

[Eideard]

Hi,
I love this plugin and have a suggestion for improvement. It would be nice if the plugin would also support compressing and decompressing files and folders.

[dopeytree]

Also please could we make downloads work for all file types. It renames anything not .txt etc into a nonsense .html file that is a placeholder for the file we want. 

 

Also upload because useful for replacing single files quickly on shares that aren't shared. For example putting custom files in appdata.

It would save you having to copy or move it to the location as can click upload.

It downloads the file with the proper name for me, and upload's available.
