• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Input [Feature Request] File Manager UX: Group by File Type & Better Sorting

Hi Plesk Team & Community,

I would like to propose a usability improvement for the Plesk File Manager.

As a hosting provider, we and our clients deal with complex directory structures daily. Currently, files in a directory are listed line-by-line. When a folder contains mixed file types (images, scripts, system files), it becomes visually cluttered and hard to navigate compared to desktop file explorers.

The Problem:
There is no effective way to visually separate assets. Sorting by name mixes .php files with .png files, making file operations slower.

The Suggestion:
Please add a "Group by Type" view option or improved sorting logic that visually separates:
1. Folders (Always on top)
2. Images (.jpg, .png, .webp)
3. Code (.php, .html, .js)
4. Archives (.zip, .tar.gz)

This small UX change would significantly improve the daily workflow for server administrators.

Thanks for considering!
