Switch to another theme like MSC.Linux or Grey Framed one.
I confirm the problem is with Authentic.
Is this a bug, or should we forget this theme?
Very good work RG!!
Congratulations!
Thank you very much,

I’ve encountered same things yesterday under Authentic, but today after update everything worked smooth. Try to reload page few times, Webmin relies on caching heavily, so some times it is necessary to refresh page 2-3 times. If things continue to happen, feel free to open issue here:
Theme author provides great support. Or simply use another theme, Filemin supports them all, some minor visual glitches may happen though.
I don’t envy you guy’s, it’s all very complicated, thank you RG and ilia.
The idea that user must be root to have full access to the system seems okay in theory, but fails on a PCI-compliant server. PCI compliance demands that a user log in and access all systems using personal usernames, rather than as “root” or “administrator”, and then use sudo to elevate as needed. All transactions must be traced back to the individual user. However, as a server administrator, I need to be able to edit files anywhere on the system, and having sudo privilege doesn’t release that in filemin.
miniserv.pl - the main webmin process accepting and processing user request launched from ‘root’. So any *.cgi executed by remote user works with ‘root’ privileges. Filemin switches to UNIX user as early as possible by using standard Perl functionality, that does not inlcude any sudoing.
I use filemin and I really admire your effort this is te one thing I needed from webmin you file manager is fast and very good in in term of usage but can u please tell me one thing that its update are via script which automatically comes in webmin are do I have to update it manually every time
Onle one word about your file manager sweeeeeeeeeeeeet . keep up the good work.
Jammie Cameron plans to include Filemin as a standard Webmin module, removing old FM completely.
Be patient, and you’ll find harmony :))))

Just was uploading 20+ files. Allowed to drag and drop all in time.Nice!
An then 20+ error messages “File already exists”. What the heck! since when existing file became obstacle to overwrite newer over?
Since common sense became popular. For me it is better to see that file already exists and then go and see why the heck it is already there, than to understand after a few minutes that the file I needed was replaced with the outdated one and it cannot be restored…oh oohh.

Sure, agree in full. Warning that file exists is absolutely must. But warning not error. Otherwise I just can’t proceed with my work.
Theoretically I can delete the file and upload it again. But in my particular case there were 20+ from thousand of all similarly named files. Not a pleasant work to review all them again. And secondly I was acting as root on behalf of an ordinary user. If the files were overwritten, their properties were preserved, new files would be created chown root.
Yes all is doable. but why I should do that boring work, not a computer which was created for that.
I think a desirable way would be that OSX uses: Warning: Replace/Make a Copy/Skip/Cancel and an ‘Apply to all’ checkbox.
I don’t know if it possible but it would be great.
Thanks

Cause any computer is just a bunch of wires and circuitry that worth nothing without programs it executes. And programs are created by programmers. And any program creation is dictated by user requests. So if you think that program you use lacks some features come and ask like any other people do, instead of coming and saying - “Hey! What the heck??? Why is this piece of … ssssoftware does not work as I expected???”
Navigate to the link you provided and see that it is not the direct download link but an HTML page on GitHub. There you’ll see two links: one says “View Raw”, other one says just “Raw”. Both of them are valid. That’s the way GitHub deals with binaries.
Many people ask me to AJAXify most common operations to avoid full page reloads. I’m already thinking about, this will make your scenario real 
Ajax is a great tool to only load that what changes in a page
Agree
