IMatch.selectedFolders selects all files in db - bug?

[ubacher]

I tried getting the files in the selected folders using this code:

function getAllFiles() {
                IMWS.get('v1/files', {
                    idlist: IMatch.selectedFolders,
                    fields: 'id,filename,name,namene,ext'
                }).then(function (response) {
                    allfiles = response.files;
                    console.log(JSON.stringify(response, null, 2))
.......
                   

This returns all the files in the db. The selected folder has only 23 files. Am I doing something wrong?

idlist: IMatch.selectedFolders,

is wrong. This idlist does not exist. And as a fallback IMatch returns all files.
Look carefully at the name. and then check again in the documentation of the IMatch class.

I find in Imatchlib.js:

Code Select Expand

   selectedFolders : '@imatch.selectedFolders',

I tried IMatch.idlist.focusedFiles, / and also '@imatch.selectedFolders',

It is always IMatch.idlist...
I will analyze this over the weekend. IMatch.idlist.selectedFolders should work for the folders/files endpoint, but not for /files.
/files expects a list of file ids, not folder ids.
