OctoPrint Filetab plugin & configuration instructions

__init__.py

import octoprint.plugin

class FiletabPlugin(octoprint.plugin.TemplatePlugin,
                    octoprint.plugin.AssetPlugin):
	def get_template_configs(self):
		return [
			dict(type="tab", name="Files")
		]

README.md

Moving the "Files" component from the sidebar to the tab section

1. Create .octoprint/plugins/filetab, .octoprint/plugins/filetab/templates and .octoprint/plugins/filetab/static/css

2. Copy __init__.py to .octoprint/plugins/filetab

3. Copy filetab_tab.jinja2 to .octoprint/plugins/filetab/templates

4. Copy filetab.css to .octoprint/plugins/filetab/static/css

5. Optional: Adjust the appearance.components.tab.order to list plugin_filetab in .octoprint/config.yaml if you want the "Files" tab to be placed somewhere else than after the regular tab components, e.g.:

   # ...
   appearance:
     components:
       order:
         tab:
         - plugin_filetab
   # ...

6. Restart OctoPrint, verify in the log that it discovered the plugin

filetab.css

#files_wrapper .accordion-heading-button a {
    display: inline-block;
    padding: 8px 15px;
    font-size: 14px;
    line-height: 20px;
    color: #000;
    text-decoration: none;
    background: 0 0;
    -webkit-box-shadow: none;
    -moz-box-shadow: none;
    box-shadow: none;
}

#files {
    clear: both;
}

filetab_tab.jinja2

<div id="files_wrapper">
    <div class="pull-right" style="font-size: 14px;">
        {% include "sidebar/files_header.jinja2" %}
    </div>
    <div id="files">
        {% include "sidebar/files.jinja2" %}
    </div>
</div>

This is a proof of concept and not maintained by me. So no.

This is a pity. So POC failed for Octopi 0.18.

I welcome any volunteers who want to take over maintenance and turn that into a proper plugin. I already have my hands more than full with maintaining OctoPrint itself plus its ecosystem, I can't do everything 🤷🏻‍♀️

I really appreciate your great work/development of Octoprint. I just wanted to inform that Filetab is no longer working with Octopi 0.18 if someone else has the same problem.
