Congratulations to everyone on the fully working and repaired plugin!

Thank you very much @chodeus .

Personally, I started using it from the beta stage and a lot of work has been done since then, all issues was fixed, and some new futures added also.

So we have a live again plugin...

Maybe it's time this becomes core unRAID functionality...

I spend a little too much time keeping up with deprecated plugins for things that needs a lot of settings migrations. (not to sound ungrateful to anyone picking up these projects, but why is functionality like this a plugin to begin with?)

The new update seemed to have created some issues with the plugin. The containers are not in groups anymore.

2026.03.04

• Minor security improvements to align with Unraid best practices

• Fix empty folder showing "3rd Party" label

• Fix invalid regex pattern in folder name input

clear your cache, that worked for me.

Yeah sorry, any time something doesn’t look right after an update, clear your cache.

Hopefully there shouldn’t be many updates like that moving forward.

I hear you but it’s a matter of opinion.

I’d love to see this functionally becoming core unraid but that’s just my opinion, I know a lot of users that have no interest in this functionality.

Fortunately it doesn’t take long to backup files and migrate to the new version but I hear your frustration with having to do this.

As I’ve said earlier, if I lose time or ability to maintain this I’ll hand the repository over to someone so it has as little impact as possible.

I have no interest in some features of various software, but I wouldn't be against software being more functional than I need unless I specifically seek out a tool that does as little as possible for a given task, but that's a rare need and I'd argue operating systems rarely need this.

unRAID isn't really following the ethos of being minimalist. It's one of the personal NAS operating systems out there that popularized extending what we typically think of when we say NAS. Apps, VMs and such.

Beyond my frustration of having to do this dance around, since migrating from one plug-in to the next that's technically the same, just not abandoned, maybe LimeTech can integrate some way to keep plug-in settings un-deleted and inheriting them in another plug-in install?

As for you handing over the repo to someone else in case you can't or don't want to maintain it anymore, that's highly commendable and I appreciate this. Much love! 🫶

Happy to see this plugin back up and running again. I've been using this since v1. I removed v2 a month ago but still had my old backup. Restoring was a breeze, and adding all my new containers to folders was easy like always.

Solved. Thank you @Faceman & @chodeus @chodeus On to another topic…is it possible to hide volumes? There was a time were the plugin hid the volumes and just kept the image/container visible. The volumes were collapse. An example, Nextcloud AIO the image will be visible, but the volumes were collapse. Hopefully, I explained myself correctly.

I’d rather not make assumptions, screenshots are your best friend when it comes to adding features or making improvements to a visual management tool.

More than happy for screenshots to be PMd to me if people don’t want to post them here.

There are some settings in the folder creation page that may help you but I think I have found a bug with the volumes.

My assumption is you want the volumes to appear somewhat collapsed like this if “basic view” is selected on the docker page and maybe the full/expanded volume paths are visible if “advanced view” is toggled on?

Please excuse the screenshot off my phone

Minor visual bug:

Buttons cut off when using the plugin in Unraid 7.1.4

Updating to Unraid 7.2.4 fixes this.

Firstly, welcome to Unraid 7.2+ where the webui is vastly improved for mobile and desktop use 😂

I guess that technically means FV3 is good for Unraid 7.2+. It will work but it is adapted to the responsive webui added in Unraid 7.2.
I'll look at backwards compatibility if there are enough people running earlier versions.

Yeah, it's a minor bug and only affects old versions, but thought you might want to know.

Unlikely many people would be affected by it, most users that are will probably migrate from the original FolderView to this fork in another 3 years 🤣

Yeah I appreciate it. Hopefully FolderView of some description is built into unraid OS by then so it’s no longer my problem 😂

But for that issue I can generate backwards compatibility but I’m not going to rollback to test it, I’ll be making sure I haven’t broken anything in 7.2+

Cleared the cache, tried incognito, reinstalled the plugin and imported my config. Still doesn't work after the latest update.

No folders are visible under the docker tab. Still see them under the plugin settings.

Any tips?

Do you want to PM me the contents of your docker.json?

Also, which version of unraid and what is the date/version on the plugin you installed?

Otherwise the bug report form on my GitHub issues will help you provide clear info on what the issue could be if you wouldn’t mind filling that out?

I figured it out.

It was related to the docker compose plugin.
https://github.com/mstrhakr/compose_plugin

Personally I didn't set it up yet. Was considering moving immich over and redoing all of that. Postponed it and forgot about it.

It adds a new section at the bottom of the page for docker compose. Probably something interfering there. It worked fine up until this latest update though. Hope this helps someone else too :)

Awesome, glad you figured it out.

I’ll have a look at that plugin, I run this compose manager without issue

Edit: I can see that the compose manager you use is a forked version of the one I linked. That plugin looks quite nice!

I can see why there might be a conflict, 2 plugins attempting to do the same thing.

Also updated and lost all folders. I cannot remove my compose plugin yet, so how can I get my folders back

Did you already try delete your cache/browser history?

If you can get me a debug log I can figure out why this is happening.

Yep, same here. I don't have the docker compose plugin. Just did a normal update and lost all my folders.

Like I mentioned above, have you tried clearing your cache/browser history and reloading the page?

Sorry for not doing even the simplest of verification before asking. Worked after clearing cache and a couple of forced refreshes. 🙈

All good mate! Glad it’s working for you.

Hopefully there weren’t be many more updates that need a cache clearing.

Sorry for the hassle!

I don’t know where the best place is to capture this; I made comment in the first post. If you have a suggestion please let me know.

It's the community who should be thankful. This plugin is a life saver, and kudos to you for taking the rains in a long line of good people.
