I am currently working on a site and I wanted to list multiple media files on a page. I was playing around on Umbraco with the properties of a page and stumbled upon the "Folder Browser" property type. I looked in the API and there is no description for what it does or how to implement it. Can anybody tell me how it is used/what is was created for? As of now I can't find a way to use it correctly; it just seems like it is sitting there.
The Folder Browser data type is used in the Media Library. By default it's added to the "Folder" media type with the alias "contents". It's used to show thumbnails of a Folder's content when used in the Media Library. You'll see this if you click on a Folder that has some images under it.

Hello All!

Hi Dom,
The Folder Browser data type is used in the Media Library. By default it's added to the "Folder" media type with the alias "contents". It's used to show thumbnails of a Folder's content when used in the Media Library. You'll see this if you click on a Folder that has some images under it.
Hope this helps,

I'm not sure how it comes into use in the Content tab though. Any further explanation? Thanks!

It's not meant to be used in the Content section, only in the Media Library :)
