The README states the plugin is no longer in active development.

Salandora/OctoPrint-FileManager#35

I would like to take on the ownership of this plugin, and perhaps get the help of others who have submitted pull requests.

If you have a fork/copy of the plugin, then you can submit a PR along the lines of #651 which I did to adopt EEPROM editor.

Let's see if @Salandora can transfer ownership of the plugin repo to @evannadeau. Long-term that's a little easier to handle, but if he hasn't responded to the issue or this comment within 14 days we can do the other process using your own fork.

What's the status here? I'm really looking for that patch to fix the latest compatibility issue in the latest pull request

Honestly I wouldn't be happy to transfer the ownership of my repo to someone I have no history with and also who doesn't seem to have much interest continuing the development plugin (based on the github profile and fork).

Also @foosel mentioned in OctoPrint/OctoPrint#3596 (comment) that she would like to bundle it into OctoPrint itself, which I would be very happy with.
Not sure if you (@foosel) are still interested to do it but if yes you have my permission to do so.

Also I wonder where the sudden interest in that plugin comes from...

[cr45hmurphy]

I believe the sudden interest in the plug-in is that it has stopped working correctly with the latest rounds of Octoprint updates.

I haven't used the plugin, but now that there's move file support in OctoPrint is it just a different UI for the same thing? Maybe it offers some bonus functionality. I've personally never tried it, since I'm not that organised...

I guess a 'file explorer' view could be put into a new UI for OctoPrint at some point in the future - but if you are back (slightly) maintaining this plugin do you want this issue closed? Another option may be to invite a collaborator so you still have ownership, but someone else can handle bug fixes/PRs even if there is no new development. It does have over 6K tracked installs, so there is a fair amount of interest still.

[Salandora]

hmm "back" is a very good question, I was "back" last year at summer or pre-summer already but then my moving happened and completely throw me off again...
Not sure if I should consider myself "back" at this point in time "again" as I just today looked into github since a few weeks. Maybe let some time pass and see how things turn out.

With Salandora being around, I see no reason to continue with this. Thank you @Salandora
