FYI if users also run the FCP plugin (Fix common problems)

its is normal to see plugins that are not in the CA yet and warnings and errors here. this will go away once we finish working with Squid to add

chodeus plugin https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chodeus/folder.view2/main/folder.view2.plg
added to the ca. @Squid thoughts on how to add an extension or update current CA?


To install, paste the link at the plugin install plugin tab and Force install it. (I had to run with force due to CA folder view 2 plugin in CA. that may be causing some conflicts.)

I understand squid is a busy person and I need to call this folderview3 or come up with a new name before it’ll get considered for the CA page.

But yes, if you manually install my fork you’ll have to ignore that warning for the time being.

I migrated to FolderView3 today - hoping to go through the process to get it added to CA.

@chodeus I migrated to FolderView3 today - hoping to go through the process to get it added to CA.

Is that why your folderview2 plugin showed an an update a few hours before its status became unavailable on the plugins page.

How should one proceed, delete folderview2 the manually add folderview3 ??

That could be to do with another plugin you have installed.

Just follow my migration instructions on the thread I have created and do a manual install using the link https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chodeus/folder.view3/main/folder.view3.plg

It's important to backup your docker.json and vm.json files and anything else you have modified.

You can import these files once you install FolderView3.

@chodeus Thanks up and running

feature update id like to see.. that the icons are cached like any of the vms/docker/plugins if your internet goes down for a while or so that folders change to ? mark

as it comes and goes when my internet works or goes down... so like to see that the icons stay static when internet is lost

Heads up, this plugin version is not actively maintained. Folderview3 is where you will want to go for the latest requests https://forums.unraid.net/topic/197223-plugin-folderview3/

my docker folders disappeared except one. I don't see them in configuration files. Does anyone has a clue what could happen?

If anyone wants more customization and quality-of-life options, you can also check out my feature-enhanced version: FolderView Plus.

FolderView Plus builds on the same FolderView concept and adds things like:

- Improved import/export workflows (with preview + safer merge behavior)

- Automatic backup/restore options

- Expanded rules and assignment tooling

- Enhanced status/health visibility and UI polish

- Mobile/touch support and broader browser compatibility

- Ongoing regression/security guardrails and active maintenance
