Something was up with my browser once I cleared cache it worked again. I must say thank you so muhc for this and the development it is great!

Just a few things I hope I can have addressed:

1) Number of containers is cutoff such as "9/9 started"

2) Chevron turns white on hover which causes it to disappear on default background, no CSS applied. Can we have the ability to change the color(both on hover and when no tbeing hovered over) and also add back the box that used to surround it and changes its color? I personally liked the box that surrounded it.

3) The vertical bar and preview border lines are very hard to see since the thickness is so small. Can there be an option to increase the thickness of these lines?

The lines are not visible on the alternating light background color, stock unraid CSS no custom CSS applied.

The short answer is you can't; it defeats the point of FolderView Plus.

I can create another custom dashboard view and call it "Legacy". That way, it only shows you the Docker containers/VMs individually and not the folders, if that helps.

that would really be great if there is an option for legacy view, thank you so much :)

Yes, I'll look at these issues and implement a legacy view (and a few other new ones).

I also have a big quality of life update coming with multi-row folder view support for folders with tons of containers.

I was able to reproduce the three issues you called out:

1. The started-count text can clip in some layouts, such as 9/9 started.

2. The chevron hover state can disappear against the default Unraid background because the hover color is not contrasting enough.

3. The vertical bar and preview border lines are too subtle on stock alternating row backgrounds, especially with no custom CSS.
   

I’ve addressed these in the new latest release v2026.03.23.09.

The container count now has enough room to render cleanly, the chevron/button styling has been restored so it stays visible and gets a proper bordered box again (But remains defaulted to minimal without the border box (Can be changed in advanced settings)), and I’m adding controls so the chevron colors and line thickness can be adjusted instead of being fixed. That includes the default state, hover state, and stronger borders for the vertical bar / preview lines so they remain visible on the standard Unraid theme.

Please test it again and let me know if anything is still hard to read.

I added a new Dashboard widget view called Legacy in the latest update v2026.03.23.09. It’s available for both Docker and VMs and shows the native Unraid container/VM list as if FolderView Plus was not organizing that widget.

It should now appear alongside the other Dashboard view modes in the action rail. Please test switching into and out of Legacy on both widgets and let me know if the behavior looks right on your setup.

FolderView Plus Quality of life/Feature Update v2026.03.22.07!

This is the next mainline rollup after 2026.03.22.07, and it includes new features, Dashboard improvements, preview/layout work, settings UX cleanup, and a round of bug fixes based directly on user reports.

New Features

- Added a new Legacy Dashboard widget view for both Docker and VMs.

- Legacy shows the native Unraid rows inside the Dashboard widget, effectively bypassing FolderView Plus grouping for that widget only.

- Added per-folder Preview rows for Docker so folders can show more than one row of preview members before clipping.

- Rebuilt Docker multi-row previews with a dedicated renderer instead of reusing the old single-row/cloned layout.

- Added richer Docker member actions in folder previews and expanded members, including start, stop, pause, resume, restart, WebUI, console, logs, and update actions.

- Added per-folder chevron styling controls.

- Added per-folder chevron color controls for both normal and hover states.

- Added the option to use either a Minimal chevron or a Boxed chevron style.

- Added per-folder preview vertical bar thickness control.

- Added per-folder preview border thickness control.

Dashboard

- Added Legacy as a real layout mode in the Dashboard action rail for Docker and VM widgets.

- Legacy is persisted like the other Dashboard layout modes.

- Reworked Legacy switching so the widget restores native rows locally instead of forcing a full loadlist() refresh.

- Scoped Dashboard rebuilds to the affected widget type so Docker and VM widgets do not interfere with each other.

- Fixed the Dashboard action rail disappearing while switching into or out of Legacy.

- Fixed the remaining flicker where the action rail could briefly disappear when leaving Legacy for another layout.

Preview / Runtime UI Improvements

- Fixed clipped started-count text in folder rows such as 9/9 started.

- Improved spacing and right-side gutter handling so status text and controls have enough room.

- Reworked Docker multi-row previews so they wrap by available width instead of awkward fixed item grouping.

- Restored more natural centering, spacing, and row balance in multi-row previews.

- Kept single-row previews on the richer original layout while multi-row mode uses a compact purpose-built layout.

- Improved compact multi-row previews so names, status, and actions stay readable and do not collapse into one stream.

- Restored proper WebUI fallback behavior for preview globe actions when containers only expose fallback metadata.

- Kept multi-row status text readable by avoiding over-aggressive font shrinking and color misuse.

Chevron / Border / Readability Improvements

- Fixed the chevron hover state disappearing against the default Unraid background.

- Restored the boxed chevron option for users who prefer the old bordered button look.

- Added normal and hover color controls for the chevron/button styling.

- Added adjustable border width for preview boxes.

- Added adjustable divider/bar width between preview items.

- Improved default preview readability on stock Unraid alternating row backgrounds.

Settings UX

- Reworked Docker and VM settings table columns with more stable width/layout controls.

- Replaced fragile drag-resize behavior with cleaner Name/Actions width presets and layout controls.

- Made sort mode and view-related table settings apply immediately instead of waiting on staged save.

- Removed the old floating save pill and replaced it with a simpler fixed action bar.

- Removed the outdated Mixed apply badge and tightened section apply indicators so they only appear when truly needed.

- Continued cleanup of settings messaging and update notes presentation.

Reliability / Compatibility

- Hardened plugin manifest/update handling so Unraid update checks are more reliable.

- Added separate stable/dev/beta channel metadata handling.

- Expanded release automation and validation guards.

- Added more regression coverage around Dashboard layouts, multi-row previews, settings layout controls, and preview rendering.

- Continued refactoring shared runtime pieces so Docker/VM behavior stays aligned and easier to maintain.

Fixes Included In This Rollup

- Fixed 9/9 started and similar status text clipping.

- Fixed chevron hover visibility on default Unraid backgrounds.

- Fixed preview borders and vertical bars being too subtle on light alternating rows.

- Fixed Dashboard Legacy transitions feeling slow because of full widget refreshes.

- Fixed Dashboard quick-action rail disappearing during Legacy transitions.

- Fixed one Dashboard widget affecting the other when switching Legacy.

- Fixed multiple Docker multi-row preview issues involving wrapping, spacing, alignment, clipping, and action placement.

Testing

- Added targeted regression coverage for the new Legacy Dashboard layout and transition behavior.

- Added regression guards for Docker multi-row previews and preview overflow behavior.

- Expanded settings and runtime coverage to reduce layout drift and release regressions.

I did a backend maintenance release because I'm in the process of breaking down the code into modules and adding better GUI error handling. It worked fine for me before merging main but let me troubleshoot what is going on, could be a Firefox specific issue.

You can also try doing a Ctrl+Shift+F5 to refresh and clear cache to see if the message is still there.

Next release has updates so cache will no longer be an issue after updates.

Good catch, that's a bug and I'll work to get that resolved. I noticed it doesn't happen on hover.

Hey just a question. What's a "preview"? I turned it on and don't notice a difference.

Issue has been resolved in latest release v2026.03.25.03

FolderView Plus 2026.03.25.03 | Feature and Quality of Life Update

This is the latest main release and it rolls up everything since the previous stable release. The biggest focus in this cycle was the new folder editor for Docker and VMs, along with a large amount of polish, parity work, cache/update hardening, and bug fixing.

Major New Feature: Modern Folder Editor

The biggest addition in this release is a new modern folder editor for both Docker and VMs.

What’s included:

- new sectioned editor layout instead of the old long flat form

- live folder preview that updates while editing

- redesigned General, Preview, Chevron, Status, Rules, Actions, and Members sections

- modern sticky action controls

- cleaner visual grouping and more compact field layout

- shared editor parity between Docker and VM folders

You can also choose between:

- Modern folder editor

- Legacy folder editor

That toggle is available in Settings and is saved separately for Docker and VMs, so users can stay on the old editor if they prefer.

New Preview can be disabled in Settings > FolderView Plus > Sort mode and view settings > "Use new folder settings page".

This will revert to the old view.

Folder Editor Improvements

A large amount of work went into making the new editor actually usable and stable instead of just visually different.

This includes:

- existing-folder hydration fixes so editing a saved folder loads the real saved values

- modern editor now uses the stable legacy runtime/save path underneath, so the new UI behaves correctly without breaking saves

- improved layout and spacing across all major sections

- compact field sizing and better module alignment

- improved Basic/Advanced mode controls

- cleaned up dialog theming and layout for custom actions

- improved reset behavior for border, chevron, and status controls

- cleaner validation/info banners

- removed the unnecessary pending-changes panel from the new UI

- removed the regex-empty warning recommendation

- changed the no-members warning into a blue info banner

- improved VM parity so Docker and VM folder editing behave the same way

Live Preview Improvements

The live preview in the modern editor got a full pass and now behaves much closer to the real runtime rows.

Improvements include:

- live preview now renders properly instead of getting stuck waiting for folder data

- chevron style and color changes now update live

- preview border resets now update the live preview immediately

- chevron resets now update the live preview immediately

- live chevron placement now matches the real row more closely

- live preview member containers are aligned better and sized closer to the real view

- preview spacing and border padding were refined

- nested-folder preview border behavior was fixed

- VM preview border behavior was aligned with Docker

New Chevron Styles

In addition to Minimal and Boxed, the folder editor now supports more chevron styles:

- Ghost

- Pill

- Filled

These are available in the editor and now render in both the live preview and the actual Docker/VM folder rows.

Docker / VM Runtime Fixes

There were also a number of runtime fixes outside the editor itself.

Included in this release:

- fixed a Docker advanced preview context issue where click mode could open both the native Unraid container details and the FolderView Plus action sheet at the same time

- aligned VM preview rendering with the Docker preview contract

- fixed preview border handling for VM rows

- fixed multiple Docker/VM preview layout regressions that happened during editor/live-preview work

- restored and hardened legacy editor flows while the modern editor was being introduced

- improved editor routing from Docker, VMs, and Dashboard into the correct folder editor mode

Cache / Update Reliability

This cycle also included update/cache hardening so new builds are more likely to show up correctly without manual cache clearing.

Changes include:

- no-cache headers on plugin pages

- no-cache meta tags on plugin pages

- auto-reload version sentinel for plugin pages when the installed plugin version changes

- extra no-cache coverage on remaining live GET endpoints like version/order reads

- regression guards to ensure future plugin pages don’t miss the no-cache contract

That should improve the “updated plugin but stale page shell” problem significantly.

Quality / Guard Improvements

A lot of maintenance work happened in the background as well:

- stronger regression coverage for Docker/VM editor parity

- stronger browser/bootstrap/runtime coverage

- stronger security/no-cache checks

- stricter release and dead-code guard coverage

- dead selector cleanup so strict GitHub quality/release checks pass cleanly

- continued release pipeline hardening

If you test this release, the main things worth checking are:

1. Docker modern editor

2. VM modern editor

3. legacy editor toggle persistence

4. live preview behavior

5. chevron styles and resets

6. preview borders on Docker/VM/nested folders

I am a little confused, the version available to update to is 2026.03.25.31 not 2026.03.25.03. I use the default unraid theme, no custom css, I use the white Dynamix color theme. I cannot read any of the text pointed to in the red arrows:

I am still getting the extra popup windows with preview context set to default and menu shows on click. I am on version 2026.03.25.31. Attached is a screenshot.

Same issue as the other w/ the additional pop-up and when I make any changes and click submit I get the following:

Mine updated and now all my folders in the Docker view are gone. They still show in the dashboard view, and they are there in the settings, but on the docker tab there is only a legacy view. Clicking "Add Folder" does nothing. Have clear cache and reloaded (not restarted Unraid) but no joy.... :-(

Also have the problem of many dialogue messages / buttons have no visible text.

It looks very promising....just going to be some teething pain. ;-)

FolderView Plus 2026.03.26.17 - Bug Fixes

FolderView Plus 2026.03.26.17 is now live on main.

This release rolls up everything fixed and stabilized since the last main release, 2026.03.25.31, with a heavy focus on the new folder editor, theme compatibility, and UI reliability.

Please clear your cache on all pages with Ctrl+Shift+F5

What’s included in this release

• The new modern folder editor was rolled out and stabilized with grouped sections, live preview, improved icon handling, and stronger runtime/bootstrap wiring.

• Fixed the modern editor boot path so it no longer flashes the wrong shell, starts too early, or breaks when opening folders in reused xmenu windows.

• Fixed multiple editor bootstrap and hydration failures, including missing helper/module load order issues and save-path failures like the securePost null error.

• Fixed member/container/VM reordering so the live preview now updates correctly and stays in sync before save.

• Fixed the Preview, Status, and Actions tabs so settings cards keep the right order, spacing, sizing, and grouping.

• Fixed inherited/default notices in the editor by removing duplicate global indicators and replacing the oversized gray control with a smaller blue notice.

• Increased folder editor field/input sizes so values are easier to read and edit.

• Restored proper orange heading/title accents in darker themes.

• Extended the orange outline treatment across the folder editor so both light and dark themes stay visually consistent.

• Fixed the Members section styling in the new editor so it no longer renders as a flat gray block on light themes.

• Fixed white/light-theme readability on the plugin settings page, including nested folder text, breadcrumbs, metadata, empty status chips, and empty alert chips.

• Fixed Azure theme detection so it follows the real page brightness instead of being forced into the dark editor path.

• Cleaned up the basic settings action buttons so the normal row actions are unboxed, while the trailing ... action stays distinct.

• Removed the boxed action rail chrome from dashboard widget actions.

• Tightened settings search/dropdown hover behavior and cleaned up some preview centering/layout details.

Quality and regression coverage

• Added stronger folder editor settings-contract coverage so schema, page controls, and save/load paths stay aligned.

• Added real browser smoke coverage for editor interactions like reorder, preview sync, save, defaults/revert, and custom action flows.

• Expanded theme/runtime guards for light, dark, white, black, and Azure theme handling.

• Added remote publish validation so the live .plg, archive, and checksum are checked after release.

• Tightened release automation and regression guards to catch note drift and packaging issues earlier.

Please test it and let me know if you find anything off, especially in the modern folder editor, light themes, Azure, and the basic settings tables.

Looking For DEV Branch Testers

I’m looking for a few people willing to help test the dev branch of FolderView Plus on different Unraid versions and setups.

Most of the current work is focused on troubleshooting edge cases, theme compatibility, runtime/bootstrap issues, and making sure the plugin behaves consistently across different environments. I can only test on a limited number of systems myself, so having a few extra testers on different Unraid versions, hardware, browsers, and plugin combinations would help a lot.

What I’m mainly looking for help with:

• Testing the dev branch on different Unraid versions

• Reporting issues with Docker, VMs, Dashboard, and Settings pages

• Helping identify environment-specific problems

• Verifying fixes before they move to main

• Sharing diagnostics when something fails so I can trace it faster

If you’re comfortable running test builds and helping with troubleshooting, I’d appreciate the help!

If you’re interested, please send me a DM.
