It > works perfectly well for me. It doesn’t work because I didn’t see it, and when I looked at it some more I had no clue what it’s for. This is not a good way of designing a UI. It’s cryptic, it’s hard to find, the default is questionable, and it doesn’t offer a “see everything” feature. There is no visual indication (other than the “wrong” value of the files count) that the display is incomplete. At the very least, it needs to say “more entries” or “..." before and/or after the subset that is displayed, if a subset is displayed. But the preferred answer in my mind is to get rid of this thing and go back to displaying the whole page. If you do want to keep the subset thing, at least make it NOT the default. paul
