Just a quick question about the functionality of the folder block. When you include a folder in a view, it allows you to open all the nested folders within, however you can't download any of the files included in those folders because they havent been 'included in the view'. However, if you add a folder which just contains documents then you CAN download those documents.

e.g.

forest (folder) -> trees (folder) -> elm.pdf, ash.pdf, oak.pdf

if I include forest in the view then I cannot download the files in the trees folder. BUT, if I select the trees folder then i can download those files.

Is this a bug? and what should the folder block do? Should you be able to download files all folders in the nested structure?                                  

Thankyou :0

Hi - funnily enough, Olaf Perlick and I were just discussing this in another thread. I have just filed a bug about the behaviour.
