@zapbranagann

so the import from a saved file works now it imports and says it successfully imported then aboue 4 5 seconds after that message the shares populate

the changing the folder directory location still doesnt detect.. except if i change the coment with a space then backspace to just resave

least the majority of the bugs been worked out just that 1 left that i can see

  • It's in CA now. But, I also did https://github.com/cslemieux/unraid-custom-smb-shares/pull/13 as pretty much the only things disallowed in SMB is leading / trailing spaces and [ ] " / \ : ; | < &g

    Interest find! If, on the Edit page/tab, you switch from Basic View to Advance View, you get these additional settings. I did test and, with these settings I can get directories with 777 permissions

    Thanks for the thorough testing, I'll take a look to see why it's not picking up that config change.

if the auto detect things have changed cant be fixed easily for ya

if you can make it so the Save button can be clicked anyways so its like always on not grayed out then that would work too.. if its something you cant fix on how unraid works

once hitting save then exits then you know it saved.. if thats the only work around or its something you leave a note if you plan to change directory location just edit the comment to force the save

just ideas if not easilly fixable

Thank you very much, the plugin is working great.

I have a suggestion to further improve the functionality. Is it possible to make the SMB Share plugin compatible with the official Recycle Bin plugin?

Very nice plugin! Thanks!

Upgraded to 2026.06.17 so I could move the menu item to Settings.

Now when I change the "Show in top menu bar" to disabled and click Apply my system immediately starts a shutdown and reboot. After the reboot the setting is still enabled.

I can't reproduce that on my end, and there is nothing in the code that calls unraid shutdown, it's likely that something else resulted in a shutdown that also interrupted the settings update.

Try doing the settings change again, also you might have to do a hard refresh in the browser for the top menu bar link to disappear but I just double checked on my unraid install and the setting persists and after I refresh the main page the SMBShares link is no longer in the top menubar.

I will look into it, I'm not super familiar with the Recycle Bin Plugin

I have retried this multiple times and I also tried changing other settings and anytime the Apply button is clicked the system goes to the shutdown display and reboots and no settings are saved.

This is completely reproduceable. I can post a screen capture if it would help.

Everything else works fine, so this does not prevent me from using the plugin but I can't change any of the settings.

Please let me know if there is anyway I can help diagnose the issue, otherwise I will just continue to use the plugin as is.

Thanks for the work.

Which version of Unraid are you running? I can't reproduce this on my end, this is truly a head-scratcher for me 😅

@Frank1940 (or anyone else in the thread), would you be able to try this out to see if you can reproduce this? @Squid do you have any ideas what would cause the symptoms @JHopple is reporting?

7.3.1 with internal boot.
