Sorry, it doesn't seem to work for me. Tried setting the order to manuel and picked the order below but it seems still to be locked in the old format.
I cleared cache, tried inkognito mode in an other browser just to be sure.

FolderView Plus Support Bundle-2026-04-06T19-07-26+00-00.json

I misunderstood. Does the order change work in settings, but it's not being reflected on the Docker view?

Is there an explanation somewhere on why this has replaced the old version, and ... is this AI generated Code? like what 10 updates in four days seems excessive and out of the norm for unraid. I've updated to this because of fix common problems recommending I do but I have my reservations now I'm actually regretting it and thinking of getting rid of unraid completely and redoing my server from scratch it just seems "icky" currently.

I just properly read the very first post o.O which contains the links I asked for "DUH" I swear it didn't a few days ago... maybe I didn't read well.

I personally don’t care if it’s made fully or in part with ai, as long as it works and doesn’t accidentally delete my data.

Folderview hasn’t had a stable steady release in a while so if someone wants to actively maintain it with the help of ai then I personally am happy because I really like the look of the new version and features.

I just hope the author can assure us this plugin is properly tested and vetted that it can’t accidentally delete our data and doesn’t pose a security risk like what we learned with Huntarr.

That is a fair concern, and I want to answer it directly.

FolderView Plus replaced the older Folder View line because it is the maintained successor built on the folder.view3 foundation, with compatibility kept intentionally for older installs and migrations. It still supports legacy imports, legacy Docker labels, and legacy CSS/JS override roots, and it also handles conflicts when older Folder View plugins are still present. So this was not meant to be a random replacement with no migration path.

On the update frequency: the burst of releases between April 5 and April 6, 2026, was not “normal steady-state churn,” it was a concentrated fix cycle after real user reports started coming in from wider use. Most of those updates were narrow fixes for Docker ordering, diagnostics fallback/reporting, orphaned saved members, and Docker update-state edge cases. I chose to turn those around quickly rather than let known regressions sit for days or weeks.

For background, I have over 10 years in IT working as a network/systems engineer. I also test what I push on my own live Unraid server before I ask others to run it. I take security seriously, and I put a heavy focus on defensive checks, validation, and guardrails when building and updating this plugin.

On the AI question: yes, I do use AI-assisted tooling during development. But I am not blindly pasting generated code into releases. The work still gets reviewed, traced against the actual codebase, covered with targeted regression tests, and run through release guards/CI before it ships. AI is being used as an accelerator, not as a substitute for understanding or verification.

Also, this plugin is not designed to delete user data. FolderView Plus manages folder views, metadata, rules, preferences, and related plugin state. It is not intended to remove your actual Docker appdata, shares, VM disks, or server data. Safety and recovery have been a major focus, which is why there is so much attention on backups, restore paths, validation, and diagnostics.

If you want the least amount of churn, stay on main and do not use dev unless I specifically ask for testing there. dev is where I push fast-turnaround fixes so issues can be verified quickly. main is the stable channel. The recent cadence was a response to active bug reports, not the long-term intended pattern.

If you are seeing anything on main that still feels off, send me the exact version and a fresh support bundle and I will look at that specific case.

FolderView Plus v2026.04.06.19

Includes a batch of Docker-related fixes plus diagnostics cleanup work. If you were hitting any of the recent issues, please update and test.

Included in 2026.04.06.19:

- Restored the missing diagnostics fallback detail for Folder details, Rules details, Backup details, and related issue reporting.

- Added a diagnostics repair action for stale/orphaned saved member references that no longer exist.

- Fixed Docker folder sort syncing so saved order changes now reflect correctly on the Docker page. @Luke_Starkiller

- Fixed switching Docker folder sort back to Created so it returns to the correct created order instead of staying stuck in the previous sort.

- Added additional folder sort modes:

- Created newest first

- Created oldest first

- Last updated newest first

- Fixed a Docker runtime issue where expanding a minimized folder could show Apply update on every container row, when only one container in that folder actually had an update available. @john_smith ~ _{The current Docker runtime still had a gap where hidden folder member rows were not re-syncing their own td. updatecolumn before being shown again. That let a stale folder/update state bleed into expanded member rows, so one updated container could make every row in that folder look like Apply update.}

Please test the following:

1. Run Health check in Diagnostics and confirm orphaned member issues can be repaired/cleared correctly.

2. Change Docker folder sort modes in Settings and confirm the Docker page reflects the saved order immediately.

3. Switch from A-Z or another explicit sort back to Created and confirm the order resets correctly.

4. Open a Docker folder that contains a mix of updated and non-updated containers and confirm only the containers with real updates show Apply update.

If anything still looks wrong on 2026.04.06.19, please post a fresh support bundle from that exact version and include the exact steps to reproduce it.

Yes exactly. Just checked after updating to v2026.04.06.19 and now it works :)

Why do some folders have the option to "force update", and others don't?

Can you please send me your exported folder config and the support bundle from Settings > Advanced > Diagnostics tab? That way I can troubleshoot why that's happening.

(Can be in a DM if you don't want others to see, since you have names blurred).

is there any issues with dockers showing updates , even if is just 1 the whole folder shows apply update, and even after update it doesn't go away, i exported a backup and when no folders configured the single docker that needed the update shows fine. I even deleted the docker.img and recreated everything thinking it was corrupted. Refreshing page shows a force update for all of them, even if no advanced view is checked

I see the issue on my system as well. Currently working on a fix that should resolve this. Also includes an updated support bundle for better troubleshooting this issue if needed later on.

FolderView Plus 2026.04.08.10 is now on main

What’s in this release:

- Fixed Docker folder/member update actions so switching between basic and advanced view refreshes live instead of leaving stale force update or apply update states behind. @Jaybau

- Fixed collapsed Docker folders so expanding them no longer makes every child container look like it has an update when only one or a few actually do. @ailliano

- Improved support bundle diagnostics for Docker update-state issues by capturing list-view mode, clearer build provenance, and richer update details.

Please test especially on the Docker page with folders that contain a mix of:

- containers that are up to date

- containers with updates available

- collapsed folders

- expanded folders

- switching between basic and advanced view

What I’d like confirmed:

- Expanding a folder only shows apply update on the containers that actually need it

- force update only shows where expected in advanced view

- Switching basic/advanced updates the folder rows and member rows live without needing a page refresh

- Refreshing the page does not bring the incorrect state back

If anything still looks wrong, please attach a fresh FolderView Plus support bundle and include:

- the folder name

- which containers are affected

- whether basic or advanced view was active

- the exact steps that reproduced it

That should give enough detail to verify whether there are any remaining Docker update rendering edge cases.

Thanks for reporting, I will check this out and let you know once I have an update.

I can only see 4 of my 12 old Folders, I successfully imported from folder view 3 in the settings. They are all there on the docker tab, but not in the settings and I can't find a way to go to "next page" or something similar.

Looks like an import bug. Can you attach your exported config and diagnostics from advanced settings so I can see why it didn't import properly?

You can DM me if you don't want that info public, even tho its scrubbed by default.

I noticed the option for all containers to force an update is missing, is this known already? That is a very useful feature to have so if it can be added back that would be great!

works fine, you need docker "advanced view" button checked on the right right above "uptime"

FolderView Plus 2026.04.14.17 is now live on main.

What’s fixed since the last main release:

• Uploaded custom icons now persist across reboot, plugin reinstalls, and Unraid upgrades.

• Custom icons are now stored under /boot/config/plugins/folderview.plus/images/custom instead of only living in the temporary runtime plugin path.

• The live /plugins/folderview.plus/images/custom/ path is now rebuilt automatically from persistent storage after boot or upgrade, so existing custom icons continue working without needing to be re-uploaded.

• Fixed custom icon manager request failures on Unraid flash-backed storage.

• The custom icon list/upload path now uses a /tmp lock file and shared read locks, which resolves the request failures some users were seeing when loading or uploading custom icons.

• Improved Docker support bundle diagnostics so render-state and update-state issues are easier to troubleshoot from one export.

• Fixed the orange preview update text option so it now applies correctly when enabled.

Still being worked on:

• The Docker update display bug persists in some cases.

• I am still working on a proper fix for that, and I am not calling it resolved in this release.

Please Test:

• Upload a custom icon

• Reboot the server

• Confirm the icon is still there and still applied

• Open the custom icon manager and confirm icons load normally

• Upload, rename, or delete a custom icon, and confirm that those requests complete normally

• If you use orange preview update text, confirm it shows correctly on containers with updates available

If anything still looks wrong, attach a fresh FolderView Plus support bundle and include the exact steps to reproduce it.

FolderView Plus 2026.04.17.04: Features, fixes, and UI/UX updates

This update includes everything shipped since 2026.04.14.17 and brings a mix of new features, bug fixes, UI/UX improvements, Docker runtime upgrades, VM fixes, and broader settings/editor cleanup.

What’s new

- Added a dedicated Appearance tab with a managed Theme Workspace flow

- Added saved folder-default profiles for Docker and VM folders

- Added new Docker page views (Found in Settings > Sort Mode and View Settings > Run Time > Docker Page View):

- FolderView

- No FolderView (host list only)

- Command view

- Tree explorer

- Added privacy mode across settings and runtime surfaces

- Added environment snapshot recovery flow and richer support-bundle diagnostics

Command View:

Tree Explorer View:

What’s improved

- Reworked Docker Command View and Tree Explorer layout and presentation

- Polished settings workspace layout, controls, and shared button chrome

- Improved Setup Assistant, rules, smart-detect, starter templates, and folder editor flows

- Refactored the shared folder editor so Docker and VM behavior are cleaner without splitting into separate editors

Fixes

- Fixed Docker update-state refresh after Update All

- Fixed Docker isolated-view persistence and native action handling

- Fixed Docker privacy toggle placement and rapid-toggle save behavior

- Fixed fast Docker page-view changes in Settings so the latest selection is preserved

- Fixed the folder editor Rules tab deep-link so it opens the correct advanced rules workspace

- Fixed the default VM folder icon fallback

- Fixed VM detail expansion inside folders so details stay attached to the VM you clicked

Testing

If you want to help test this release, the main areas are:

- Docker page-view switching and persistence

- Docker privacy toggle behavior in all Docker views

- Update All clearing Docker update state properly

- Theme Workspace / Appearance flows

- Folder editor Rules workspace deep-linking

- VM folder detail expansion behavior

- Support-bundle and recovery flows

thanks !this fixed the refreshing issue after the docker update single or update all.

I noticed an issue when I click on the update container icon from a collapsed group in the “version” column which is supposed to update all containers in that group, it does update but at the top of the window when updating containers the title said something like “updating $1…” I can’t remember the text I wasn’t initially paying attention.

The containers updated but the icon that there were containers needing to be updated was still there. I had to expand the grouping and click on the specific “update container” text for the specific container and it updated again then cleared the “update container” message from the collapsed group in the “version” column.

I can do it again when there’s another container to update I apologize for not getting pictures I wasn’t really expecting any issues so I just clicked through it.

All good, yea if you can manage to grab a screenshot and export your diagnostic file i can take a look.

For each group like below:

When I click "apple update" the below window pops up showing the progress of the update, below is the heading which is wrong:
