Ah. Hadn't noticed it like that before. The other plugin is using other names for the actions. Open, create, write, rename, chmod etc. Switched temporary.

Edit:
Switched back. This one does not show when creating dirs. Not for me

Ah yes, I don't report directory operations because the cache directories plugin will keep directory operations from spinning up disks, hence they are not reported.

Ok, I have no use for the cache dirs plugin. I make sure to really keep an eye on whats happening.
So if some service spins up our drives because dir creation, we wouldn't know. ;-)

@dlandon Thanks for the recent upgrades! 👍

I have a small feature-request;

In the DiskActivity.page I can only see the last 25 events on each disk - even if I have set "Display Events" to 100 in the plugin-settings. This setting only affects the pages that are visible from the plugin itself.

I use the DiskActivity.page everyday, since I have a link to this page on my main navigator-bar in unraid, through the Custom Tab plugin and it would be great to able to define how many events that is shown also on that page 🙂

I see the problem. The DiskActivity.page was intended to be used as a tab of the "File Activity Settings" and depend in it to load the file activity config settings. It was not intended to load as an independent page. There will be a fix for this in the next release.

Looks like it's no longer in apps. I didn't remove it. Just ignore the warning for now.

Is this plugin abandoned or will it return to the official repository?

No, and probably not. I'm continuing development in my GitHub and it has been renamed File Activity Next to differenciate it from the File Activity V2 plugin forked from my repository to minimize confusion.

Many Thanks!

But i cannot find your Plugins in CA. Only the V2 are showing. Not without V2 or with the Next Extension.
