@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

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.

Having the same issue, also when changing Enable SMB Shares from Enabled to Disabled.

Manually editing /boot/config/plugins/custom.smb.shares/settings.cfg to set SERVICE="disabled" does the trick, the plugin correctly goes into disabled state.

There's no show in top menu bar value in settings.cfg to try, maybe adding one should do the trick.

I've been looking at this plugin because I wanted to see if I could add support for it in the 'Recycle Bin - Next' plugin. It's a clever approach and I think there is an opportunity for the two plugins to work together.

I have a few suggestions that might simplify integration:

• Limit custom share paths to /mnt/user. The /mnt/disks and /mnt/remotes paths are managed by Unassigned Devices (UD). Those mount points can appear and disappear as devices are mounted, unmounted, attached, or detached, so they are not as stable as Unraid user shares. UD already manages SMB sharing for those paths, so I don't think they should be offered as Custom SMB Share locations.

• Use a working configuration in /etc/samba. Currently the custom share configuration is stored on the flash drive at /boot/config/plugins/custom.smb.shares/smb-custom.conf and included via the "SMB Extras" mechanism. I think it would be cleaner to keep the persistent configuration on the flash drive, but generate a working copy in RAM at /etc/samba/smb-custom.conf and include it directly with: 'include = /etc/samba/smb-custom.conf'. That's consistent with how Samba's runtime configuration is managed elsewhere in Unraid.

• Recycle Bin integration. With a working configuration in /etc/samba/smb-custom.conf, the Recycle Bin plugin can automatically update the custom shares with the appropriate Samba recycle directives before Samba is reloaded. The Custom SMB Shares plugin would simply update its configuration and then invoke the Recycle Bin plugin to apply or remove the recycle settings as needed. I've already implemented this on my side, so the integration point is ready if you're interested. I can give you the php code to do this. It's just a few lines of code put where you would reload samba on a change in share configurations.

I think this would provide seamless Recycle Bin support for Custom SMB Shares while keeping the responsibilities of the two plugins nicely separated.
