Yes, can confirm, bug is fixed and looks normal again (like it used to be). Thanks for quick fix

awesome, thanks

Does this plugin update automatically to the newest version even when it is manually installed? Or do i need to keep installing it again to keep it up to date?

If you go to the Plugins section of Unraid there is an update button you can click.

You don’t need to keep manually installing it.

Hi all, I wanted to update you on what I've brought to stable release v2026.04.04. Sorry for the essay below!

It'll look and feel like the same FolderView but a bunch of things underneath got a decent overhaul, plus some new power-user features.
Now I said I wasn't going to refactor the original plugin but I have to apologise because I've had to do a partial refactor to combine duplicate lines of code to make this easier to maintain and prevent regression or forgetting to update the other lines of code for the 1 fix.

Anyway, what's new?

CSS Tool — Built-in theme manager right in the Settings page. Import themes from GitHub repos, toggle them on/off, get notified when updates are available. Also includes a variable editor with colour pickers, presets and an advanced CSS text area. Also security scanning for unsafe imports.

Folder Defaults — Set global defaults for preview mode, overflow behaviour, context menu, and more. Hit "Apply to All" to push defaults to every folder at once instead of editing them one by one.

Full Backup & Restore — Export everything (all folder configs, settings, CSS config, installed themes) to a single JSON file. Import it back on a fresh install.

Incognito Mode — (this one is my favourite) Blurs container/VM names, and folder names. If you think anything else needs to be blurred out please let me know.

Updated Folder Editor— Settings organised into collapsible sections. Cleaner layout, same options.

Unraid 7.2+ API Integration— If you're on 7.2+, the plugin now uses WebSocket for real-time stats (faster, lighter than SSE), GraphQL for container/VM actions, and automatically syncs your folder structure to Unraid's native Docker Organizer (when this is implemented). Falls back gracefully on older versions.

Mobile & Touch Improvements — General improvements

Here's the before and afters for those that want to make sure I have kept the plugin lean.

Before (v2026.04.01): ~5,900 lines JS / ~1,400 lines CSS / ~800 lines PHP — 186 KB package

After (v2026.04.04): ~8,200 lines JS / ~3,200 lines CSS / ~1,600 lines PHP — 223 KB package

Alternate Plugin 1: ~58,900 lines JS / ~14,500 lines CSS, ~8,9030lines PHP - 14.2 MB package

Can always view the repository for more details https://github.com/chodeus/folder.view3

I feel like I have tested this extensively but there's always edge cases or things I may have missed or not thought about. Please let me know ASAP if you spot anything.
If you have additional feature requests please let me know.

Rolling back to previous version: If you run into any issues, you can roll back to v2026.04.01: 
- Go to Plugins > Install Plugin 
- Paste: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chodeus/folder.view3/v2026.04.01/folder.view3.plg 
- Click Install This will downgrade back to the previous stable release. 

Please report any issues so I can get them fixed quickly.

Just came here to say the incognito feature is pretty crazy good, in my opinion volumes should be masked aswell, because they unusually contain data to make it obv which container is which, which for example wouldnt or usually isnt the case for things like networks, ips or ports

Yeah valid point. I’ll look at a tidy way to incorporate that.

Thankyou for the suggestion!

Updating to v2026.04.04 seems to make my docker tab unusable. All folders/containers are gone. Downgrading to v2026.04.01 resolves the issue.

Did you capture any dev console logs?

What compose manager plugin and version are you using?

Apologies, I did not when I had the issue. It automatically updated again overnight and for whatever reason the issue is gone. I'll report back with dev console logs if it happens again. Thanks!

Short answer is you cant do it cleanly.

Just released a fix for this so "orange text on update" will override the preset colour for containers that need updating.

Great thanks! Works perfectly!

Awesome.

I’ll think about what I can do for the orange preset but all the others should be fine.

Just migrated to folderview 3 and the "add folder" function is gone from docker
No compose manager plugin. running unraid 7.0.1.

Tried removing cache and force refresh, tried different browser.

version installed is 2026.04.09 
Also already tried reinstalling, no luck...

Any error logs in dev console while on the docker and/or VM page? (F12)

Have you tried a hard refresh on your browser and a cache clear?

Hi there! Thanks for helping out!

Yes tried hard refresh, no luck. Cache cleared as well, testing using chrome on safari

nothing on dev console

If you click “console” do any errors appear there when you refresh the page?

What version of FolderView did you migrate from and how did you do it?

Also, does the VM page have an “add folder” button?

While on your docker page, just type “fv3debug” and then reload the page and please PM me the debug.json that’ll get automatically downloaded.

Compatibility earlier than Unraid 7.2 is negligible but I’m happy to work to improve the compatibility.

nothing on docker, but something on VM

Folderview2 - i now did a clean install of folderview3 without importing exported file from folderview2

Also, does the VM page have an “add folder” button?

no...

I've been working with @myki to improve backwards compatibility with Unraid <7.2. That's the reason for the errors above.

If anyone wants to help me improve backwards compatibility I can share my beta branch install link with you, I'd love some help!

First off, great work with v3 with a ton of new features and ui improvements.

I see why you would add incognito mode and why its needed. But is there any possibliity to hide the incognito button on docker dashboard for example via a settings option in Plugin settings.

For me that button is only taking up precious dashboard space as i already have alot of containers that needs the space so i dont need to scroll up and down.

Hmm maybe the advanced view is already making that space used, dont have an old screenshot of it. So i could be wrong but it feels that the incognito button is making the the space bigger and thereby taking up more space vertically.

The incognito button does not take up any additional room than what was there pre-inclusion of the button or when compared to native unraid.

If you want to gain more room above the table please see this method.

https://github.com/chodeus/folder.view3/issues/6

You might need to buy a larger monitor 😉

In the end im going to end upp with a tv infront me instead of getting rid of containers

So there was others like me but yeah that fixed it a bit for me. I guess unrelated to folderview i would wish that Unraid moved advanced view up to the bar above so the ui got more compressed. Then i guess it would be more worth to hide the incognito button as one would get more back in terms of vertical space.
