• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

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!
