Problem with Options Box rename about esp-fs-webserver HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @AlainF-ing and thanks for your interest!
The behavior you encountered is normal: in order not to unnecessarily overwrite the file every time you restart, when the key is present the file is not touched.
This unfortunately has the drawback you encountered, but i prefer this way because in the end, it can only cause problems during the development phase of the project

Regarding the #define CLEAR_OTIONS, this is used only in the example customHTML.ino and not in customOptions.ino

If you look at the code, you can find this:

#if CLEAR_OPTIONS
  if (myWebServer.clearOptions())
    ESP.restart();
#endif

So, when you need to clear the config file the method to be used is clearOptions(), but of course if you use the /edit web page the result is the same.

Ok and thanks for your quick answer.
As a comment, I am a fan of the FSBrowser.ino on Little FS for ESP8266. For ESP32 this was a disappointment until I
found your library.
Very good work.

Thanks for your comment!

If you like this library, I would recommend you also to take a look at this version which, instead of the WebServer core library, is based on the ESPAsyncWebServer library.
ESPAsyncWebServer library and its dependencies are included locally in the sources, so you don't need to install anything else.

async-esp-fs-webserver and esp-fs-webserver can coexist without any problem or interference between them.

Even though I am trying to develop the two projects in parallel, I won't deny that there is more effort on the second one because it has better performance in terms of speed and responsiveness of the pages.
